Frequently Asked Questions About Sesame chili oil
What is sesame chili oil?
Sesame chili oil is a sesame-oil-based condiment infused with chili for heat and aroma. It is commonly used in Asian cooking as a finishing drizzle or seasoning for noodles, rice, soups, vegetables, and dumplings.
How do you use sesame chili oil?
Use sesame chili oil as a finishing condiment, adding a little at a time to noodles, rice, soups, or vegetables. Stir it through just before serving so its toasted sesame aroma stays noticeable and its heat does not overwhelm the dish.
How do you make sesame chili oil at home?
To make sesame chili oil, pour carefully heated sesame oil over chili flakes and any chosen spices, then let the mixture cool. Avoid smoking the oil, which can scorch the chili and create a bitter taste; store the cooled oil in a clean, dry, sealed jar.
What dishes go well with sesame chili oil?
Sesame chili oil pairs especially well with ramen, dumplings, fried rice, and stir-fried greens. Try a small drizzle on eggs or a simple broth, too; its savory sesame notes and chili heat can add depth without needing a full sauce.
Can you cook with sesame chili oil, or should you add it at the end?
You can cook briefly with sesame chili oil, but it is often best added at the end. Long cooking or high heat can dull the sesame aroma and scorch chili flakes, so use a more neutral cooking oil for extended frying.
Is sesame chili oil the same as chili crisp?
No, sesame chili oil is not necessarily the same as chili crisp. Sesame chili oil is primarily a flavored oil, while chili crisp usually contains crunchy chili pieces and may include other solid ingredients; check the product itself, since recipes vary.
How spicy is sesame chili oil?
Sesame chili oil can range from mildly warm to very hot, depending on the chili variety and concentration. Start with a small drizzle, then add more; mixing it into broth, noodles, or a creamy sauce can make the heat feel less sharp.
Can sesame chili oil be used for deep-frying?
Sesame chili oil is generally better as a seasoning than as a deep-frying oil. Its chili particles and fragrant sesame flavor can scorch or lose their character at high heat; fry with a suitable neutral oil and add the sesame chili oil afterward.
How should you store sesame chili oil after opening?
Store sesame chili oil tightly closed in a cool, dark place unless its label says to refrigerate it. Use a clean, dry spoon and keep water and food crumbs out of the container to help preserve its flavor and quality.
Why does sesame chili oil taste bitter?
Sesame chili oil can taste bitter if the sesame oil or chili flakes were overheated, or if the oil has turned stale. Heat the oil gently when making it, and discard a product that smells rancid or has an unexpectedly unpleasant flavor.

What is Sesame chili oil?
Sesame chili oil is sesame oil infused with chili, used as a fragrant, spicy condiment in a range of Asian cuisines. Its flavour combines toasted, nutty sesame with the heat of chili; the balance depends on the oil and chilies used. It is often added at the end of cooking or stirred into a sauce, rather than used only as a cooking oil.
Try a small drizzle over noodles, dumplings, soup, eggs or roasted vegetables, or mix it into a dipping sauce. It is almost entirely fat, so a little goes a long way and brings plenty of flavour without adding protein or carbohydrates. If you prefer milder heat, start with a few drops or blend it with a more neutral oil.
