Sesame oil, or chamgireum (참기름), is a fundamental Korean cooking oil made from roasted sesame seeds. This particular oil from Otogi has a deep, nutty aroma and a rich, toasted flavour that is distinct from lighter, cold-pressed sesame oils. It is an essential ingredient for adding an authentic finishing touch to many Korean dishes, from seasoning vegetables for bibimbap to creating dipping sauces for grilled meats. A small drizzle just before serving is often all that's needed to impart its signature fragrance and taste. For best results, add it at the end of cooking, as its low smoke point makes it unsuitable for high-heat frying. Store this versatile pantry staple in a cool, dark place to preserve its flavour. Contains SESAME.
