Recipe – Mountain Gomae

Categories: Recipes

Mountain Trek’s Mountain Gomae is one of the veggie side dishes that our guests just love!

Gomae, or Sesame in Japanese, is the perfect accompaniment to the trio of lightly steamed spinach, swiss chard and broccoli. We have revved up the flavours by adding tahini and sesame oil to the accompanying sauce and topped it with toasted sesame seeds as well as green onions. We pair it with our Wasabi encrusted Pacific Halibut for a superb Asian inspired meal!
