Gomadare (sesame sauce) is a Japanese sesame sauce of ground roasted white sesame or tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, dashi and sesame oil, cream-beige, slightly thick, with a rich nutty taste, a mild sweetness and a light saltiness. It is served as a dipping sauce for shabu-shabu, noodles, gyoza, tofu, with spinach salad (goma-ae), aubergines and steamed vegetables.

The recipe from Lyudmila Moroz, chef of Avocado Queen, naturally includes avocado of the creamiest ripeness. The salad is really big - fresh leaves jauntily stick out from a deep plate. With juicy pak choi, elastic shiitake, sweet sun-dried tomatoes get along well with the creamy density of large shrimp. A clever dressing of two sauces at once - nut gamadari (it can be bought in specialized stores of Indian spices) and citrus ponzu ( easy to make yourself) develops the taste in three directions. Life becomes brighter from such a salad - especially on New Year's Eve.
