About Oil, sesame, salad or cooking

Sesame oil comes in two quite different forms. The light, pale kind pressed from raw seeds is a neutral, high-heat cooking oil, while the dark, intensely nutty oil pressed from toasted seeds is used in tiny amounts as a finishing seasoning. Both are pillars of Chinese, Korean and Japanese cooking.

Like other plant oils it is essentially all fat — about 884 calories per 100 grams — and is rich in unsaturated fats, split between monounsaturated and the omega-6 fat linoleic acid. Sesame oil also carries natural antioxidant compounds such as sesamol and sesamin, which help it resist going rancid and contribute to its keeping quality.

The toasted version is potent: a few drops stirred in at the end of cooking add a deep, roasted aroma that defines countless stir-fries, noodles and dipping sauces. The lighter oil is the one to reach for when you actually want to fry.
