Toasted Asian Sesame Oil

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration helps preserve freshness and prevent rancidity due to its high unsaturated fat content.

Use it as a finishing oil after cooking for maximum flavor impact. The heat of cooking can diminish its delicate aroma.

Add a few drops to salad dressings, marinades, or dipping sauces for an instant flavor boost.

It pairs wonderfully with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili.

Using it for high-heat cooking like deep-frying or stir-frying. Its smoke point is relatively low, and the flavor can become bitter when overheated.

Using too much. Its strong flavor can easily overpower other ingredients.
