Sesame Oil
Oh, it's delicious. Not spicy at all; tastes like toasted sesame
seeds. I use a few drops when cooking rice, or in Chinese stir fries
for extra flavor -- here's a quick and easy stir-fried sugar snap peas
recipe:
Heat a little sesame and canola oil in a pan till really hot; toss in
some minced garlic and ginger, stir till sizzling, then toss in a bunch
of sugar snap peas; saute for a few minutes till crisp-tender, add some
salt, and yum....
I also use it in a dipping sauce that goes with Chinese dumplings.
