Sure. In any case sesame oil is just a flavoring agent, not a cooking oil
per se. A few dabs of chili oil goes a LONG way, just add it to the peanut
or whatever oil...

I got Stouffer's mac 'n cheeze for 99 cents last nite for a friend last nite
(our grocery store is adjacent to our local groggery - how conveeeeenient!),
I picked up a few for myself. I've not tried any of their stuff before but
at that price...

I've still got diced red and green bell peppers from the autumn farmer's
market in the freezer...I should really use those soon.
