Honey Ginger Sesame Sauce

Honey Ginger Sesame Sauce
1/2 cup liquid honey
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
zest of one large lemon
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
salt and pepper, to taste

NOTE: This recipe has approximate measurements, because this is another one of those sauce recipes I just came up with on the spot. I didn't measure ingredients, just eyeballed them. So you will definitely need to taste the sauce several times while making it and decide if it needs a little more of anything to suit your tastes. 

Whisk all ingredients together well until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. If it is not sweet enough, add more honey. If not salty enough, add more soy sauce. If too thick, add some more vinegar, and add more spice for more flavor. Makes about 3/4 cup.

This sauce is good for stir-fry, as pictured below. It may look like it contains a lot of sesame seeds, but they disperse throughout the sauce once the sauce is served, and add a nice little crunch.
