Looks delicious and easy to make. BUT Please could SDC put a Print option on recipes? Have made very similar to this using Kangaroo steak and it was amazing!. Crock pot meals are great from singles and twosomes - enjoy now, and freeze the rest in meal sized packs.

•
Sesame oil (or sesame seed oil) is a light-colored oil composed of raw sesame seeds. It is common for sautéing, frying, or deep-frying foods, especially in Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Known as gingelly in South India, the oil has a rich, nutty flavor. While extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil have low smoke points, sesame oil has a high smoke point—like canola oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil—making it one of the best oils for high-heat cooking. Lignan compounds found in sesame oil (sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin) are antioxidants that remain stable at 338 degrees Fahrenheit and keep the oil from breaking down in heat.

If you have regular sesame oil, you can toast it at home to make a toasted sesame oil with a rich, nutty flavor. Learn how to toast sesame oil and how it tastes.
• Heat a frying pan over low to medium heat. Use a lightweight pan like a nonstick, stainless steel, or ceramic pan to allow you to swirl the oil easily. Choose a pan that heats evenly to avoid hotspots that burn the oil.

• 2. Add the oil. Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan; start with about a tablespoon of sesame oil. Adding a small amount of oil at a time allows for even toasting.

• 3. Swirl constantly. To avoid burning the oil and to promote even heating, swirl the pan constantly.

• 4. Cook for five minutes. Cook the oil, swirling constantly, for about five minutes, or until the oil becomes darker and smells strongly of sesame.

• 5. Allow to cool completely. Turn off the heat and let the oil sit in the pan until it cools.

• 6. Store. Keep your toasted sesame oil in an airtight container at room temperature. Use your home-toasted sesame oil as a finishing oil rather than a cooking oil since any additional cooking will burn the oil.
