Toasted Sesame Oil

Toasted sesame oil is one of the essential pantry items for Asian cooking. Its brown color, noticeably different from regular sesame oil, brings intensely toasty, nutty flavors to a dish. A little goes a long way, so don’t overuse it. But a little dash of it, mixed in regular oil or chili crisp, such as for Chili Crisp Fried Eggs, makes a big difference.
