It's also good in Asian cucumber or seaweed salad with rice vinegar, a bit of fish sauce and sesame seeds.
Like others have said, I'd use it sparingly. I know that anytime one of the chefs uses it on Chopped!, the judges start worrying. They usually see it as a signal that maybe the contestant is using it cover some flaw.
But sometimes they get pleasantly surprised too, so you never know.
Thanks for the tips on toasted sesame oil, I will head for our Asian superstore and take a look!
Kayelle,
Thanks for the link to the "Crack Slaw"!
This recipe sounds perfect for me. I can use part of a bag of shredded cabbage to make a small version of it, have some for a bowl of cabbage salad and still have a handful to toss into the soup pot!
Next time I'm going to try it with shredded chicken.
I somethings add a bit of it ti hummus. I usually add toasted sesame seeds, so the sesame oil, tahini, and toasted seeds adda bit more depth.
Do any of you know a basic brand of sesame oil to use as a finishing oil.
I have been gawking at various types, toasted, unrefined, dark, chili infused, etc.. I get so confused I end up not buying any of them!
I just want it to make a fakeout-takeout, or would it be a takeout-fakeout, Chinese meal from time to time.
Thanks B
Are you sure you're not thinking of truffle oil?
Nope, same reaction to either one. Just watched one a week or two ago where that was a primary reason for the chef using it being chopped.
