Couldn't wait to make these. Many steps but well worth it! Wasn't sure what chili paste to use...fresh red chili paste (sambal olek) or thai roasted red chili paste. Ended up using the roasted one and it added just the right amount of flavor. Also used rice vinegar for the vinegar and a little less sesame seeds.
