Kadoya Roasted Sesame Oil
What it is
This is a flavorful cooking oil made from toasted sesame seeds. The toasting process brings out a deep, nutty aroma and taste that is distinct from regular sesame oil. It is a staple in many Asian cuisines, adding a rich complexity to dishes. The oil is dark in color and has a potent fragrance.
How people cook with it
This oil is primarily used as a finishing oil or as an ingredient in dressings and marinades. Its strong flavor means a little goes a long way.
- Drizzle over stir-fries
- Whisk into salad dressings
- Add to marinades for meats
- Finish noodle dishes
Add a small amount of this roasted sesame oil towards the end of cooking or after a dish is prepared. It is not typically used for high-heat frying because its delicate flavor can be diminished by excessive heat. Instead, incorporate it into sauces, dips, or as a final touch to stir-fries, soups, and noodle bowls. It can also be blended with other oils for dressings or used to marinate ingredients before cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Roasted sesame oil is made from toasted sesame seeds, giving it a darker color and a much more intense, nutty flavor compared to unroasted sesame oil. Unroasted sesame oil is lighter in color and flavor and can be used for higher heat cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who want to add authentic Asian flavors to their meals.
How to keep the rest
Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Avoid direct sunlight and heat, which can degrade the oil's flavor and quality. Properly stored, it will maintain its distinctive aroma and taste for an extended period.
