What it is

How people cook with it
Sesame oil is a versatile ingredient that adds depth to many dishes. It is often used to enhance the flavor of both savory and sweet preparations.
- Drizzled over stir-fries
- Whisked into salad dressings
- Added to marinades
- Used in dipping sauces
Pure sesame oil is best used as a flavor enhancer rather than a cooking oil. Add a small amount to your stir-fries just before serving to impart a rich, nutty aroma. It is excellent in marinades for meats and vegetables, providing a complex flavor profile. Whisk it into homemade salad dressings for a distinctive taste. It also works well in dipping sauces for dumplings or spring rolls. A little goes a long way in adding depth and character to your culinary creations. Consider it a finishing oil for maximum impact.
How it differs from similar foods
Pure sesame oil, made from toasted seeds, has a much stronger, nuttier flavor and aroma compared to un-toasted sesame oil. Un-toasted sesame oil is lighter in color and flavor and can be used for higher heat cooking. This pure version is primarily for flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs seeking to add authentic Asian flavors to their meals.
