  What did I do wrong? Toasted seeds and spent 10 mins with a mortar & pestle, followed by a high power mini processor and not a single crushed or otherwise damaged sesame seed! Also the idea of "quickly" frying wedges of pak choi. Unless quick is meant to mean 15 mins. of stir frying? Recipe states ready in 15 mins, mine took nearly 40 mins from beginning to end. We ate it with a very lumpy mass of sesame seed. Oh and is 50g of seeds really right? It seems a huge amount for 4 smallish veg.

  We halved the recipe to keep from overwhelming ourselves with so much greens, everything went well. Was hard to crush the seeds, but we just used a rough sauce. The sauce was great, can imagine using for all sorts of other vegetables if bok choy is not in season or findable. @sue -- you can actually eat the veg without cooking, so the "quickly frying" should be fine (altho my husband does prefer cooking to a mush also).

  Question: Ingredients lists states ".01 tbsp golden caster sugar" - surely this ".01 tbsp" is an error!! & instead what is meant is "1tbsp..." Confirm please anyone? Would like to try this recipe ASAP. Thanks!

  To follow up on i-heart-cooking's comment, fortunately I still had the original magazine, and it definitely calls for 1 tbsp sugar, not 0.01 tbsp sugar.

  This is absolutely delicious and I'm going to do it again.... however I also couldn't crush the sesame seeds with either a pestle and morter or grinder, so we just accepted the sauce was very thick and textured. I stir fried the bok choi, they didn't take too long to do 4-6 1/2s at a time. (I doubled the quantities for a dinner party). I served withthe slow-braised soy&five spice beef and followed with the spiced baked figs with ginger marcarpone
