Here in South Carolina Benne wafers, a thin, crispy, toasted sesame seed cookie, are very popular.  These pecans are slightly sweet, have a hint of salt from the soy sauce, and a sesame flavor from the oil.  Very simple and quick to prepare, they are a great addition to your appetizer table.  When placed in a pretty jar with a ribbon they could make a great hostess or teacher gift.  Make these a few days ahead, and chill in an airtight container.
