Good to Know
Toasted versions (the dark amber kind from brands like Kadoya or La Tourangelle) carry a strong nutty punch, so a teaspoon or two is usually enough to season a stir-fry or salad dressing. The lighter, refined type has a higher smoke point if you want to actually cook with it. Read the label on blends, since some bottles cut pure sesame with cheaper soybean or canola oil, and a few prepared sesame dressings sneak in sugar that the plain oil never contains.
