How to use
Ingredients
- Black sesame
Instructions
- [Usage Secret]
- [Ma You Ji] The biggest point is heating plenty of Black Sesame Oil in a clay pot and slowly frying sliced ginger (Lao Jiang) on low until crispy.
- [Warm-up Soup] Always used as a base when frying pork heart, liver, or chicken for soups.
- Deeper roast and blacker color than regular Japanese sesame oil; the Taiwanese way uses it heavily as a 'base frying oil' rather than just a finishing touch.
