Otogi Sesame Oil 80ml

Sesame oil, known as chamgireum (참기름) in Korean, is a fundamental finishing and cooking oil in Korean cuisine. This particular oil from Otogi is made from carefully selected, roasted sesame seeds, giving it a deep, nutty aroma and a rich, toasted flavour that is distinct from lighter, cold-pressed varieties. It is most commonly used as a flavour enhancer, drizzled over dishes just before serving to add a fragrant finish to soups, stews, and vegetable side dishes (banchan). A few drops can transform a simple bowl of rice or a dipping sauce for Korean BBQ. For best results, add it at the end of the cooking process, as its delicate flavour can diminish with high heat. Store this essential Korean pantry staple in a cool, dark place to preserve its signature aroma and taste. Contains SESAME.
