The seeds are toasted over a meticulously controlled wood fire, steamed to break down the seed walls, then shaped into oilseed cakes in circular molds. These circular cakes, wrapped in paper, are stacked in a hydraulic press and slowly compressed together to squeeze out the oil. Unlike expeller-pressed sesame oil, a method that generates heat, this compression method is a low-heat process, which keeps the oil as pure and unaltered as possible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting oil is toasty, fresh and well balanced. Sesame oil is healthy oil, containing mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and is packed with antioxidants and amino acids.

They’re made from two different species. White sesame oil is made from hulled tan\/brown seeds, while black sesame oil typically has the hull on. White sesame oil has  a lighter flavor and is typically used as a finishing oil or for dressing; black sesame oil has a deeper flavor more suitable for cooking dishes or adding to broths. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003efragrant, sweet and slightly bitter with notes of toast and caramel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis well balanced aromatic oil is perfect for finishing dishes and seasoning.

I’ve heard many an elder wax poetic about the quality of these peanut and sesame oils, simply manufactured but fresh and flavorful. Dong He Oil, founded in 1921, has continued their cold press oil operation for four generations, and we’re proud to offer their traditional peanut oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis peanut oil is cold-pressed in the old-fashioned way, so fresh you can smell the shell. Dong He uses a special variety of locally farmed peanuts called Tainan No.9, found only in Taiwan. These are small and mighty, famous for their intense peanut fragrance and high oil content. The resulting oil is nutty and warm, with an unmistakable melt-in-your-mouth peanut flavor. This is the peanut oil of your dreams, bringing an instant mouth-watering, warm flavor to all your dishes. Peanut oil has a high smoke point and is great for both stir- and deep frying. You can even use it in your baked goods to add a nutty backdrop. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CwGCc87LL9N\/?utm_source=ig_embed\u0026amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It's edible straight out of the bag, too—experiment with it as a crunchy topping, or stir fry directly for a chewier mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the oldest methods of food preservation, sun-drying is an energy-efficient, lo-fi technique practiced throughout Taiwan.

To achieve this, cabbage leaves that have been sun-withered are kneaded together inside a cloth bag. This technique is borrowed from oolong tea making, where it's primarily used to roll and oxidize tea leaves. Here it rapidly reduces moisture and is responsible for the curved shape of the dried cabbage leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis process is done mostly by hand to ensure consistent quality and taste among batches.\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMildly peppery and naturally sweet, with tender leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo reconstitute, boil for 1-2 minutes or soak for 30-60 minutes, then strain.
