Oil density ~0.92 g/ml; 4.93 ml/tsp.
Instead of Sesame oil
Mustard oilUse the same weight. Heat until smoking, then cool for 2 minutes before cooking; it is pungent and changes the flavour strongly.
Groundnut oilUse the same weight. It is neutral, so add 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds for aroma.
Vegetable oilUse the same weight. It is neutral and lacks sesame flavour; finish with a few drops of toasted sesame oil if you have it.
