How Koreans Use It · Recetas Coreanas

In Korean households, sesame oil is the "final drop" in almost every dish. Discover the authentic Korean way to enjoy it.

Bibimbap
비빔밥
Korea's iconic mixed rice bowl topped with seasoned vegetables, meat and egg. Just before mixing, add a tablespoon of sesame oil and Gochujang — every ingredient comes together into one harmonious flavour. In Korea, Bibimbap without sesame oil is simply unthinkable.
Japchae
잡채
Glass noodles made from sweet potato starch, stir-fried with vegetables and beef — a classic Korean celebration dish. A final drizzle of sesame oil keeps the noodles from sticking together and brings a glossy sheen and nutty aroma to the whole dish.
Namul
나물 무침
Blanched vegetables — spinach, bean sprouts, bracken fern — seasoned with salt, garlic and sesame oil. This is Korea's essential side dish (banchan). Sesame oil tames any raw green notes and adds deep flavour. It is also a key component of Bibimbap.
Gimbap
김밥
Korean seaweed rolls filled with rice, vegetables, egg and ham. The rice is mixed with a touch of sesame oil and salt, and the finished rolls are brushed with sesame oil on the outside — this softens the seaweed and coats every bite with a nutty fragrance.
Bulgogi
불고기
Korean marinated beef seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, pear and garlic. Adding a tablespoon of sesame oil to the marinade deepens the flavour of the meat considerably. It is a core ingredient used both before and after grilling.
Kimchi-bokkeumbap
김치볶음밥
A staple of Korean home cooking — well-ripened Kimchi stir-fried with rice. Turn off the heat, then drizzle sesame oil around the pan and the aroma bursts to life instantly. Top with a fried egg to finish.

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

Ottogi Savory Sesame Oil is a pure sesame oil cold-pressed and extracted from 100% sesame seeds. It is characterised by a deep, rich nutty aroma from roasted sesame and a full, savoury flavour. Unlike common cooking oils used in Europe — such as sunflower or olive oil — sesame oil is primarily used as a "finishing oil" to complete the flavour of a dish. Even a small amount adds profound depth to the entire dish.

Is this sesame oil suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians?

Yes. Ottogi Savory Sesame Oil is made exclusively from 100% sesame seeds and contains no ingredients of animal origin. It is suitable for both Vegans and Vegetarians.

Does this product contain allergens? Is it gluten-free?

The main ingredient of this product is sesame, which is one of the 14 major allergens listed under EU food labelling law (Regulation 1169/2011). Anyone with a sesame allergy should avoid this product. In addition, the Korean product label carries allergen warnings for soy and wheat (gluten), reflecting the possibility of cross-contamination in the manufacturing facility. Anyone with a soy or gluten allergy should exercise caution. This product is not certified gluten-free.

How is sesame oil used in Korean cooking? Can I use it for stir-frying like olive oil?

Sesame oil is used differently from olive oil in Korean cooking. Because it has a low smoke point, it is generally used as a finishing oil rather than for high-heat stir-frying. It is drizzled over Namul, Bibimbap, soups and stews, and Bulgogi marinades at the very end of cooking to bring out the aroma. In European culinary terms, this is similar to drizzling truffle oil or a high-quality extra virgin olive oil over a finished dish. The appeal of sesame oil lies in how even a small amount dramatically elevates the flavour of a dish.

How should sesame oil be stored after opening?

After opening, store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping the cap tightly closed minimises air contact and slows oxidation. Refrigeration is possible, but the oil may turn cloudy or solidify at low temperatures. This is not a quality defect — it will return to its clear state at room temperature. It is recommended to use the oil within a few months of opening; a reduction in the nutty aroma indicates the oil is past its peak freshness.
