Kadoya Toasted Sesame Oil 327ml

Sesame oil, known as goma abura (ごま油) in Japan, is a versatile Japanese cooking oil made from roasted sesame seeds. This particular oil from Kadoya has a deep, nutty aroma and a rich, toasted flavour that is characteristic of high-quality Japanese sesame oil. It is not typically used for high-heat frying due to its strong taste, but rather as a finishing oil to add fragrance and depth to dishes. A few drops can transform noodle soups, stir-fries, and steamed vegetables. For a simple and delicious dressing, whisk it with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar. This staple of Japanese pantries adds an authentic finishing touch to countless recipes, from ramen to marinades for meat and fish. It is a fundamental ingredient for anyone looking to explore Japanese home cooking.
