CJ Baeksul Sesame Oil 160ml

Sesame oil, known as chamgireum (참기름) in Korean, is a fundamental ingredient in Korean cuisine, prized for its deep, nutty aroma and rich flavour. This particular oil is made from carefully selected, high-quality sesame seeds that are toasted before being pressed, which gives the oil its characteristic dark colour and intense, roasted fragrance. It is not typically used for high-heat frying but rather as a finishing oil to add flavour and aroma to dishes just before serving. A few drops can transform simple vegetable side dishes (namul), add depth to dipping sauces for Korean BBQ, or enrich the taste of bibimbap. For an authentic touch, drizzle it over japchae noodles or mix it into the seasoning for bulgogi. This versatile oil is a staple in any Korean pantry, essential for anyone looking to recreate genuine Korean flavours at home.
