Toasted Sesame Oil

With its rich amber color and distinctive flavor, and aroma, it is no wonder that sesame oil is a mainstay in the Chinese Kitchen. The toasted flavor of sesame oil replaces the taste of 'browned' butter and adds its own unique qualities. Suggested Pairings 1. Coconut Balsamic Tropical and creamy, coconut balances sesame’s intensity with a soft sweetness. Ideal for Asian slaws, grilled shrimp, or noodle salads with mango and cilantro. 2. Honey Ginger Balsamic Zesty and warm, ginger enhances sesame’s savory depth while honey adds a mellow sweetness. Perfect for stir-fry sauces, seared tuna, or roasted sweet potatoes. 3. Blood Orange and Vanilla Balsamic Citrusy and aromatic, orange lifts sesame’s earthiness while vanilla adds a smooth finish. Try it in glazes for chicken, tofu, or roasted carrots. 4. Pomegranate Balsamic Tart and fruity, this pairing adds brightness and complexity to sesame’s toasted profile. Great for dipping sauces, grain bowls, or grilled eggplan
