Tips:
If the rice grains
sticks together on cooling, simply stir them with a metal spoon
to loosen it.
Sesame oil has a
strong, nutty flavor and is used for seasoning, marinating or
flavoring rather than for cooking. Because the taste is so
distinctive, sesame oil can be mixed with grape seed or other
light flavored oil. |
