Sesame Oil has a strong toasted nutty savory flavor and aroma and is dark golden in color.
It has a lower smoke point so do not use it at hot temperatures or it will taste bitter.
It can be used at the end of making soup to add flavor and can be used to season dishes like namul (나물) and meat. You will see sesame oil used in alot of Korean dishes.
Store sesame oil in a cool area away from the sun in an airtight container and use it within two years. Make sure that the lid is sealed and not exposed to air. It is important to never store sesame oil in the fridge or it will be ruined.
