Tips for When Cooking with Japanese Sesame Oil

Japanese sesame oil is not just a cooking oil but is also used as a finishing sauce that boosts the flavour of many dishes. Apart from Japan, sesame oil is highly popular throughout countries including China, India, Turkey and Korea. As it’s a versatile oil that can be used in many different ways, here are some important tips to keep in mind when cooking with Japanese sesame oil. 

Tips for stir-frying

Sesame oil can’t be heated for too long, which makes it great for stir-frying. When making a stir fry, you can add in the sesame oil at the end to give it a flavoursome sesame taste. Many also choose to simply drizzle it over the dish as a finishing sauce for maximum sesame flavour before serving, depending on your taste preference. 

Tips for stewing

Japanese sesame oil can be used in many stew dishes such as Korean short rib stew, ginger beef stew and chicken sesame stew to provide a delicious and rich taste. When boiling beans and other green vegetables, adding a splash of sesame oil into the water will help to bring out their vibrant colours. Another option is before boiling the vegetables, lightly sauté them in sesame oil so they stay firm throughout the cooking process.

Tips for frying

Did you know that Japanese sesame oil can also boost the flavour when frying Tempura? Many Tempura chefs will add around 25 – 30% of sesame oil into their oil used when frying. For the best results, always make sure that each ingredient isn’t crowded and to leave about half of the pan surface empty. This will allow the oil to maintain its temperature allowing each ingredient to crispen up.
