I always have some toasted sesame oil on hand. I used to cook with it but now I kind of use it more as a finishing drizzle when my stir fry is about done, it parts a great flavor and aroma to the stir fry that way. I usually use avocado oil now to stir fry. How do you use it?
I usually use a mixture of sesame oil and rapeseed oil (just because someone near me makes it) in the bottom of my wok and, pretty much always, add some crispy fried chillies and black beans. Then just stir-fry with that.

It's weird how you always want stuff you can't have.
I'm doing a stupid no gluten, no dairy diet for two weeks (because my GP is a git) and I would kill for a slice of fluffy deep pan pizza with extra cheese on!

Avocado oil is great for it IMO since it has a high smoke point. We use it with balsamic vinegar for salads too.

First try at it. Still braising, hopefully turns out well. I can guarantee it won't look as good as that since that guy used to be the chef that serves food for PRC's national assembly. Yes it calls for 750cc of Xiaoxin wine.

To be served with rice.



LOL, nothing like what he made. I think I messed it up.

We learned to make GwaiLo Pho - the ultimate bastardized version because I'm over paying $18 for a bowl of soup! Asian markets have been helpful & super friendly in our questions.

QuocViet Foods makes excellent soup base - we use the Chicken or BunBoHue version.
Bean sprouts
chopped cilantro
crispy garlic in oil
fresh Pho noodles (boil for 10-seconds, then rinse in cold water)
beef balls
chicken meat - sliced
bok choy (nai you tip)
Mexican "macha" chile oil
and sometimes frozen "pork & shrimp" dumplings you would find in Chinese egg noodle soup that we get at 99Ranch.

We do soy sauce, 1Tbsp brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame seed oil, sesame seeds, chopped green onion, fresh ginger coins for our marinade. It's great on wings but 24hrs is more than enough time to marinate - can't image 3-days.

Wings are a lot thinner than drumsticks.
