This is my take on gomae, the classic Japanese side dish of vegetables in a sesame sauce. This version is adapted from a recipe my Japanese best friend taught me when we were at school. It is a little less sweet than hers and uses toasted sesame oil for a deeper, nuttier flavour. Serve it over rice with a crispy fried egg for a simple, satisfying midweek meal.
