This is a super-easy side dish that goes well with most Asian-style food. The blanching process can be done in advance - the stir-frying only takes a couple of minutes. So it's an ideal dish within a bigger menu.

2 Tbsp sesame seeds
25g butter (or dairy-free margarine )

You can make it spicy by adding a couple pinches of chilli flakes to the batter.
