Sesame oil

Sesame oil is a rich, aromatic oil that plays a key role in Korean cooking. Made from toasted sesame seeds, it adds a deep, nutty flavor and a fragrant finish to a variety of dishes. Just a few drops can enhance bibimbap, japchae, marinades, dipping sauces, and soups. Often used as a finishing touch rather than for high-heat cooking, sesame oil is essential for adding authentic depth and warmth to traditional Korean meals.
