Tohru Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm making some one a meal and we use a lot of sesame oil, then after I sent my husband out to deliver the meal, I realized that maybe most people don't like it. So, I've made a poll...at least I think I've made a poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm making some one a meal and we use a lot of sesame oil, then after I sent my husband out to deliver the meal, I realized that maybe most people don't like it. So, I've made a poll...at least I think I've made a poll I like it, but only in certain foods. I guess I'm thinking toasted sesame oil, which is the only kind I use. Maybe un-toasted sesame oil has a different, milder taste? Same goes for EVOO -- I like it, but only in certain foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Chinese cooking use sesame oil in lots of dishes. It is one of the reason why the smoke alarm goes off when I forgot to activate the vent fan while cooking stir fry noodles :o I like to sprinkle sesame seeds on the finished dish as well for garnish and taste.

ThatHomeschoolDad Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Toasted ses oil is one of those things I'm not sure I need, but notice if I skip it in a hmm, this is missing something way. Toasting ses seeds is better for my unsophisticated pallate, like, oh look! Crunchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I love sesame oil (toasted). It even makes ramen taste good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If you mean toasted sesame oil, then I love it. I love how it tastes and I love how just a couple drops will transform a dish. Even if I am really needing to watch calories I can have just a couple drops, and it makes all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I voted yes, but some people use too much, and it can get overwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamzanne Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I love sesame oil (toasted). It even makes ramen taste good :) They used to sell a kind of top ramen called Sesame Chicken that was nearly identical to regular chicken but with a tiny packet of toasted sesame oil. It was my favorite when I was growing up and once in a while I look for it on a whim. I have no idea why it never occurred to me to just add some sesame oil to regular ramen.

nd293 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I like it because it goes with the food it's in, if that makes sense. I think it smells terrible, and I'm not actually sure I like the taste that much, but it certainly makes a dish stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 In small amounts and on the right foods, it's delicious. Too much is overwhelming and I don't care for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 In small amounts and on the right foods, it's delicious. Too much is overwhelming and I don't care for it. This exactly--so I voted sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I usually like it, but it depends on the food. Also, I assumed you were talking about toasted sesame oil. The regular is so mild that many people wouldn't notice that much difference. I tend to associate regular untoasted sesame oil with massage oil :laugh: .

Karen in CO Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My dh has always used it in Korean cooking, but my Dr with multiple food allergies is now allergic to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohru Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks! I was worried, but not so much now. I used it on veggie fried rice and a side of seasoned steamed spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
