Title: Selecting Ingredients--Sesame Oil (Oriental) (Ck)
Categories: Info Chinese Check
Yield: 1 Servings

Oriental sesame oil, a golden brown oil made from roasted sesame seeds, is aromatic, with a strong, nutty, smoky taste. It is generally used to flavor dishes after they've been cooked, but use it sparingly at first: it tends to overwhelm. Buy a good-quality Oriental sesame oil, which is more concentrated and darker thant the Middle Eastern sesame oil. Sesame oil will keep for months on the pantry shelf.
