Slowly whisk in the sesame oil to enhance the aroma and create a balanced flavor profile.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste if needed.
Gently fold in the thinly sliced scallions to incorporate a fresh, mild onion flavor.
Divide the mixture if you're using it as both a marinade and dipping sauce. For the marinade, pour over your choice of proteins or vegetables, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor infusion. For dipping sauce, serve in a small bowl or drizzle over cooked dishes.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
