Sesame seeds are tiny and so they burn very easily. To toast the sesame seeds, I throw them into a wide, dry saucepan over medium-low heat then stir constantly with a spoon until the seeds darken ever so slightly in color and Toasting sesame seeds in a dry pan makes tahini with incredible flavor. Having never bought the Chinese sesame paste/sauce, just wondered if someone knew offhand if they are the same and can be used interchangeably. I haven't tried Chinese sesame paste yet, but tahini is available in both raw and toasted forms from many suppliers e.g. This traditional kafta ('meat fingers') recipe calls for only a few simple ingredients and no fancy steps, yet it is a favorite comfort food.
