Instead of Sesame seed
White sesame seedUse the same weight. Toast lightly before use; white seeds are milder and give a cleaner look.
Black sesame seedUse the same weight. They are stronger and more bitter; toast briefly and use slightly less if the dish is delicate.
PeanutUse the same weight, crushed or chopped. It gives crunch but not the same nutty sesame aroma.
