Maangchi, Help! I brought a Kadoya Pure Sesame Oil, the large metal can and I can’t get the cap working properly. I followed the instructions but I can’t get an airtight seal and the cap is very loose. Do you have any suggestions on how to close the the sesame oil? Or should I transfer it to another bottle, but what is the best thing to do?
Also, how long is it good in the refrigerator?

Thank you so much Maangchi!

Hi everyone! My experience with sesame oil is that the Korean one is better. I think it’s because we use it more often so better sesame oil is in demand…

But usually the Korean one seems to be more appetizing. My housemate said the same thing. It’s probably because it has a stronger scent than the Japanese one?

How you can tell is if you make stir fry and add the sesame oil, you will notice that the Korean one is the one that makes you want to eat it all~ Try it sometime, and you might get the same result. I use the traditional one (like the last picture in maangchi’s list) and my housemate uses something called 고소한 참기름.

What type of sesame oil should I look for in terms of color and the ingredients in it? I bought one that said “pure sesame oil” but the ingredients were “sesame, rice oil” so I don’t know how much of it is actually rice oil. I didn’t want to buy rice oil with just a little sesame in it but its called sesame oil. Its color was also lighter than the ones in the picture, resembled golden honey.
