Time 1h

Yield Makes 1 sheet (about 9 by 11 inches)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole sesame seeds
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup coarsely chopped crystallized ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast sesame seeds on a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet until pale golden brown, about 13 minutes.
  • Coat another 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar, corn syrup, water, and butter to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees. Remove from heat, and stir in sesame seeds, ginger, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour onto coated baking sheet, and spread into an even 1/2-inch-thick layer. Let coolcompletely. Cut into pieces.
