and can’t get enough, or you’re just looking to use that last bit of the bottle before it goes rancid, here’s a collection of over 35 sesame oil recipes for you to try.
Sesame oil is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine and known for its pleasant fragrance and nutty flavor. It is typically used in sauces and marinades.
The fragrance offered by sesame oil
tends to be very strong, so a little goes a long way
. For Asian cuisine, darker roasted sesame oil is used instead of pale sesame oil
made from unroasted sesame seeds
.
Since sesame oil has a relatively short shelf life (6 months on the shelf, or about a year if stored in the refrigerator), you’ll want to use it as quickly as possible before it goes rancid.
This can be quite difficult to do, especially since most recipes with sesame oil call for only 1 tablespoon or less.
Sesame oil has a very low smoke point, so it is usually used in sauces and marinades, and sometimes in stir-fries as a flavor accent; never for frying.
If you simply love sesame oil and
can’t get enough (??), or if you’ve bought a bottle of sesame oil and are looking to use it before it goes bad, here is a collection of over 35 sesame oil recipes for you to try.
