Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between light and toasted sesame oil?
Light (refined) sesame oil is pale with neutral flavor for cooking. Toasted is dark amber with intense nutty flavor, used as finishing oil. They're not interchangeable.
Can you cook with toasted sesame oil?
Not ideal. Its strong flavor becomes bitter when heated. Add at the end of cooking or use in cold applications. Light sesame oil is better for high-heat cooking.
How much sesame oil should I use?
Start with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per serving - it's potent! A little goes a long way. Too much can overwhelm a dish with its strong flavor.
