[Sca-cooks] Sesame Oil (was: Mongolian Meat Cakes)

[Martha Oser]

You should also be able to find the "light" sesame oil in a Middle Eastern 
market, if you have one nearby.  It is light in color and flavor, rather 
than the caloric "lite" of the modern day. 

I am also finding it in the "international food" aisle of many large grocery 
stores these days - Meijer, for example, if you're familiar with them.  The 
"al-Ziyad" brand seems to be the most prevalent.  It has a label that's 
mainly yellow with some green and red print.
