Just as a heads up to anyone reading this… Don’t use sesame oil to make an oil and vinegar dressing. I did it once and shit my pants so bad I never wore khaki pants again. That stuff isn’t like Olive oil or anything else in your kitchen. It is Instant Bad Day in a bottle.
I make vinaigrette with sesame oil from time to time and never had a problem. Maybe it depends on people, digestion can be different from one person to another. (I dedicate this comment to my poor grandma who can’t digest half of fruits and vegetables properly.)
I use it all the time to fry rice and veggies. Is it being raw the problem, like there as protein that denatures? Or is it quantity and you, are way too much?
Pretty sure it was being raw that did it. I’ve cooked with it since and never had a problem. But when it goes on a salad, it’s typically just right out of the bottle… Never again.
My wife is Chinese and we put copious amounts on almost all dishes, plain and raw. Never got any stomach problems - have you tried again to check if that was really the issue? Might have been another ingredient after all.

I use it everytime I want to make a asian-inspired salad. I haven’t had an issue in many years.

I could… tell when I made it to the bathroom. The sesame oil was not digested at all. I have eaten the same type of salad before and since.
Maybe it’s a unique thing to just me, but no, I’ll never try that again just to see. It was a horrible experience.
Thanks for the heads up!
