Description
This is a rich oil that goes a long way!
Menu sugguestions: because of the large proportion of sesame oil, this is a rich oil.
A little bit goes a long way.
A spoonful added to a salad dressing or brushed on the plate on which a fish will steam or on the skin of a just smoked or roasted bird gives an unmatched touch of lushness.
If you are a bread baker, brush a bit on your next loaf, if you are tossing pasta, drizzle a bit on the noodles just before serving.
