Depends on the colour...if it is slightly brown in colour it is
probably toasted sesame oil.
A little toasted sesame oil goes a long way. It isn't that it is hot or
spicy. But it's flavour can overpower if you aren't careful. A few drops
add plenty of flavour to dipping sauces and stir-fries. It is also nice on
fried rice. Adds that missing oriental flavour to anything you use it on.
