What goes with Sesame Oil?
Toasted sesame oil is a liquid fat with a pronounced roasted seed scent, often recalling browned nuts and toasted bread. It contains no sesame seed crunch and brings no salt of its own. Colour and strength vary by roast and producer, so a dark bottle and a deep brown oil are not reliable measures of the dose needed.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Sesame Oil?
Starchy roots, rice and noodles offer surfaces on which a small quantity spreads evenly. Garlic and white pepper work when their pungency is kept proportional to the oil's roast. Peanut preparations need enough water or acid to avoid excessive richness. Juicy fruit can support a savoury application when the oil is dispersed thinly rather than pooled around it.
