Looks gook.

I do a little Asian cooking, and I got sesame oil for one recipe.
I might have gotten a bad batch or something.
That stuff stunk so bad I couldn't put it in the kitchen trash, I had to take outside to throw it away.

Next time, Go to an Asian store. get the real 100% stuff. The Asian stores here turn it over pretty often, so you always have fresh product.
A lot of sesame oil is a blend of other oils. It is also cheaper at the Asian store.

Did this recipe for chicken skewers, vegs cooked on the grill last night, very good. I added 1/4 tsp baking soda to the final mix because I only had dry Marsala and the result was a little sour, the soda fixed that.

Mom said she just used what she used every day. Most likely Veg oil
The wife uses canola oil
If you like sesame oil try it.

Any good oil such as peanut oil will do, but you may want to mix in 10 percent or more Chinese or Japanese sesame oil for a more authentic taste.
