Sesame oil is a staple in Asian cooking and a versatile condiment that can be used in a myriad of ways, from flavouring sauces and stir-fries to using as a marinade for meats and even to add extra oomph to a plain bowl of congee. But sesame oils aren’t all made the same, and if you prefer one with a deeper, more nutty flavour, then include homegrown brand Double Pagoda’s Sesame Oil as your pantry essential.
Well-loved by generations, it boasts an authentic flavour that adds depth to dishes. It is also made with 100 per cent pure roasted sesame seeds that contain natural antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids. These are known to boost your heart health and lower blood pressure. Not only is it labelled as a healthier choice, but it’s also halal-certified, too.
Want to switch things up in your kitchen? Try out Double Pagoda’s range of flavoured oils as well, from chilli oil to garlic as well as ginger oil.
$3 for 150ml, and $4 for 250ml, available at leading supermarkets, grocers and online stores.
