Black Sesame Oil

[Jason Perlow]

Recently, I purchased a bottle of Black Sesame Oil, made presumably from Black Sesame Seeds.

Do you use it interchangeably with regular toasted sesame oil, as a condiment? Or is it used for some other purpose?

Is it made from toasted black sesame? How can you tell? Smell it!

This oil is used for a dish called sesame oil chicken, it should be more expensive than regular sesame oil. It is a Taiwanese dish. Or there are variations of it like sesame oil liver or sesame oil kidney. It tastes best made with no water and all rice wine. People like to traditionally accompany this with somen-ish noodles (mien shien) but I don't like it as much because you have to eat it really fast or the noodles grow in size.

cute.

We used some today as part of a dumpling dipping sauce (soy sauce, black sesame oil, black vinegar) and it was sure tasty. More of a burnt flavor to it.

I just found a bottle of this here in Japan, made by Kadoya (the big Japanese sesame oil maker).

It is good it has a slightly more burnt flavor (but in a good way) and I think you would lose the flavor during cooking but it adds a nice accent when drizzled on foods or used in dipping sauces.
