How Koreans Use It · Korean Recipe Ideas

Six of the most popular ways Ottogi Sesame Oil is used in Korean households. In Korea, it is drizzled as a "finishing oil" at the very last step of almost every dish — used to release aroma rather than for high-heat cooking.

Bibimbap
비빔밥
Korea's most beloved one-bowl dish. Rice is topped with seasoned vegetables, meat and a fried egg, then mixed together with Gochujang — and a spoonful of sesame oil is the key ingredient that binds everything together. It is widely said that authentic Bibimbap simply cannot be completed without sesame oil.
Bulgogi
불고기
Korea's iconic grilled beef dish — thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, sugar, garlic and pear juice. Adding 1–2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the marinade infuses the meat with a deep, nutty richness, and fills the kitchen with the unmistakable aroma of Korean barbecue as it cooks.
Namul
나물 무침
A classic Korean side dish of blanched vegetables — such as spinach, bean sprouts or bracken fern — seasoned with garlic, salt and sesame oil. Similar in concept to a European salad, but finished with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds instead of a dressing. Served cold or at room temperature as an everyday accompaniment to rice.
Japchae
잡채
A festive Korean dish of translucent glass noodles made from sweet potato starch, stir-fried with vegetables and beef. A generous drizzle of sesame oil just before serving prevents the noodles from sticking together, gives them a glossy sheen, and delivers the distinctively nutty Korean aroma that defines this dish.
Gimbap
김밥
Korean rice rolls filled with vegetables, egg and ham, wrapped in dried seaweed. Unlike Japanese sushi, the rice is seasoned with sesame oil and salt rather than vinegar. Once rolled, the surface of the Gimbap is brushed with sesame oil, giving the seaweed a glossy finish and a deeper, more aromatic flavour.
Kimchi-bokkeum-bap
김치볶음밥
The most common quick meal in Korean households — aged Kimchi stir-fried with rice. A final drizzle of sesame oil around the edge of the pan softens the sourness of the Kimchi and adds a warm, nutty finish. Traditionally served topped with a fried egg.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Ottogi Rich Sesame Oil, and what does it taste and smell like?

Ottogi Rich Sesame Oil is a 100% pure sesame oil cold-pressed from roasted sesame seeds. It has a deep golden-brown colour and is characterised by an intense, nutty aroma and rich depth of flavour. Rather than being used as an everyday cooking oil like olive oil or sunflower oil, it is primarily used as a "finishing oil" — drizzled in small amounts over a dish just before serving to add fragrance and flavour. Think of it in a similar way to how truffle oil is used in European cooking to elevate a dish with aroma.

Is this sesame oil suitable for vegans and vegetarians? Is it gluten-free?

Yes. Ottogi Rich Sesame Oil uses 100% sesame seeds as its sole ingredient, making it fully suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no gluten-bearing ingredients such as wheat, barley or rye, and is therefore appropriate for a gluten-free diet. Please note that Halal certification has not been confirmed for this product; those requiring Halal certification are advised to verify before purchasing.

Allergen information: does this product contain any allergens?

⚠️ Warning: This product is made from 100% sesame seeds. Sesame is one of the 14 major allergens that must be declared under EU food labelling regulations (Regulation EU 1169/2011). Do not consume this product if you have a sesame allergy. The product does not contain wheat, dairy, tree nuts, soy or other common allergens.

Where do the sesame seeds come from? Are Korean-grown sesame seeds used?

The sesame seeds used in this product are not grown in Korea but are sourced from importing countries including India, Pakistan and Ethiopia. The manufacturer, Ottogi, is one of Korea's leading food companies and selects raw materials according to strict quality standards, processing and producing the oil in Korea. Please note that the country of origin of the sesame seeds and the country of manufacture (Korea) are separate.

How should sesame oil be stored, and what dishes can it be used in?

Store sesame oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigeration is recommended after opening; the oil may become slightly cloudy when chilled but will clear again at room temperature. As sesame oil has a low smoke point, it is best used in small quantities as a finishing touch rather than for high-heat stir-frying — ideal for Namul seasoned vegetables, Bibimbap, soups and stews, or Mandu fillings. Adding a few drops to a salad dressing brings an East Asian depth of flavour, and it can also be used creatively with bread or pasta for a distinctive twist.
