"The taste of freshly pressed sesame oil is distinctânutty, a little smoky, and deeply savory. The seeds for this particular oil come from El Salvador, and the owner (simply known as Mr. Chong) roasts and presses them himself. Add a splash of it in dressings and stir-fries and youâll never go back to the mass-produced stuff again. Like many of Koreatownâs gems, Chongâs is hidden (itâs behind Pollo Alla Brasa). Itâs the best sesame oil youâll find in Los Angeles."
