Assistant: To make sesame oil, you could just take sesame seeds and roast them in an oven.  Alternatively, you could buy them from a grocery store, or a manufacturer.  They sell both raw sesame seeds and roasted sesame seeds, which is commonly used in Asian cuisine.


Human: How do I make sesame oil?

Assistant: OK, well it sounds like you need sesame seeds, some vegetable oil, and a pot. I’m also assuming that you want to make the traditional “tahini”, the thick sesame paste that you can spread on toast.  So we’re talking about something that gets cooked and strained, right?  Tahini is made from sesame seeds, water, and, if we want it to be good, some kind of coagulant.  In most cases, people use a bit of lime juice.  Lime juice contains some chemicals that’ll make the seeds clump together when we boil the mixture.
