Trivia

[For Everyone] In Taiwan, 'sesame oil' strictly differentiates between 'Black Sesame Oil (Hei Ma You)' and this 'Fragrant Oil (Xiang You)'. While black is 'heavily heated' for winter warm-ups/postpartum care, Xiang You 'loses aroma if heated', so Taiwanese common sense dictates drizzling a few drops at the very end for flavoring.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Tossing freshly boiled Mianxian (Somen) with just a little salt and this 'Xiang You' is the ultimate stomach-friendly simple Taiwanese late-night snack!
