I see an "uh-oh" here.  Did you use plain sesame oil, or the dark 
aromatic Chinese kind pressed from toasted sesame seeds?  I suspect the 
latter and that's not what one is supposed to use.  I like dark sesame 
oil a lot in things like Chinese Chicken Salad but not in Hais, where a 
more neutral oil should be used.
