How do you make toasted sesame oil?

1. Gather your ingredients. You will need:

* Sesame seeds

* A heavy-bottomed pan

* A wooden spoon

* A strainer

* A glass jar or bottle

2. Toast the sesame seeds. Heat the pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be sure to stir the seeds frequently to prevent them from burning.

3. Cool the sesame seeds. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sesame seeds cool completely.

4. Grind the sesame seeds. Place the cooled sesame seeds in a blender or food processor and grind them into a fine powder.

5. Add oil to the sesame seed powder. Add 1/2 cup of oil to the sesame seed powder and mix well to form a paste.

6. Heat the sesame seed paste. Place the sesame seed paste back in the pan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until the paste begins to bubble.

7. Strain the toasted sesame oil. Strain the toasted sesame oil through a fine strainer into a glass jar or bottle. Let the oil cool completely before using.

Once the toasted sesame oil is cooled, you can store it in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
