Sesame oil suggestions

[andiandiandi4]

I tried a new recipe tonight that called for a couple of teaspoons of sesame oil.. now what do I do with the rest of it?? I could make tons and tons of peanut sauce, but I would tire of that real easily!
Throw out your favorite uses for this stuff so I don't feel like I've wasted $5 hehe.
Thanks!!

I use it in every stir fry I make, instead of whatever other kinds of oil people use for stir fry. :)

I use it routinely in stir fry. However, the oil will last a long time, so hang onto it and use it as you get the urge. You can keep it in the fridge if you're worried it'll go rancid before you finish it.

Yeah I was worried about it going bad before using it up because it wasn't cheap! Good think to know it'll last a bit!

You can just toss it in the fridge and it'll be fine. I don't think it's really necessary, as I've had a bottle sitting out for about a year w/o it becoming rancid, but you do what makes you most comfortable.

I've had sesame oil sitting in my cupboard for about 4 years now and it's still fine!

There is so much you can do with Sesame oil.
I've added it to bread recipes to make it more nutty.
I've used it with home made hash browns (an interesting and really good flavor).
It's great with salad dressings
Any Asian dish (almost)
A good cheat when making hummus.
Great in baking sweet deserts/cakes.

I LOVE my sesame oil. I have three different types at all times if I can.

Good luck.

Thanks!!

Coolness, I'll have to try it with another recipe I have. Thanks!
