Toasted sesame oil is made from toasted sesame seeds. It is used as a seasoning to enhance many Chinese dishes with its signature nutty sesame flavor. Only a few drops are needed to season a dish or enhance a marinade. Sesame oil can turn rancid pretty quickly, so it should be stored away from heat and light.
