It is toasted sesame oil. Chinese recipes do not use un-toasted sesame oil very much, and all the recipes on my website call the toasted type.
Happy cooking and hope you enjoy the dish! 🙂

Good Morning Maggie, This looks like a wonderful recipe. I had a question about the sesame oil. Is it a toasted oil or not toasted. Trying to make sure I have the correct ingredient. Thank you for all the work you do to provide wonderful recipes and all the help in cooking them.

In reply to Lynda. Hi Lynda, I recommend to use a neutral oil (vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil etc) to replace all the peanut oil in my recipes. Sesame oil is a finishing oil and it will lose its fragrance if you add it at the beginning of the stir fry. If you want a bit extra nuttiness, you should drizzle a bit sesame oil at the end of the stir fry, although most of my recipes are fragrant enough so you don't have to add the finishing oil.

Hi Maggie,
Your recipes look amazing, can’t wait to try this one. Just wondered, can I use sesame oil instead of peanut oil in most Asian recipes?
