  Hello!!
  My partner and I both love Korean food (obviously, or I wouldn’t be here!), but she’s allergic to sesame. Leaving the seeds out of recipes is easy enough, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good substitute for sesame oil. We find that some dishes we make are missing that kind of unique earthy (?) flavor that the sesame oil adds.
  Thank you for the help!!

  How about roasted peanuts/peanut butter?
  It’s a different taste, but still yummy – I used that as a substitute when I started cooking Korean about 20 years ago.
