   Prepare the sauce that will be poured over the entire dish. Pour the leftover marinade from the meat into a saucepan—you should have about one and a half cups. Add half a cup of water and one tablespoon of honey. Bring to a boil. Dissolve the starch in a glass of water, then slowly pour it into the boiling sauce, stirring constantly. Add sesame seeds, bring to a boil again, taste the sauce, and add salt or sugar to your liking.
