💡 TIP

In Korean cuisine, sesame oil is often used for its rich aroma and nutty flavor — I personally love it, too! 
 However, if you're concerned about inflammation or aiming for better fat balance, consider using perilla oil instead.
It’s high in omega-3 fatty acids and widely used in Korea as a healthy alternative.  Plus, it has a unique earthy taste that pairs beautifully with rice dishes.
