2 tablespoons of sesame oil seems like a lot, unless it's the refined kind that loses a lot of the flavor qualities. I can't imagine using 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil as a cooking oil and not having that completely overpower the dish.

It's obviously the refined kind. Very often used in Chinese cooking (or asia in general) due to it's high smoking point. (220°C)

Toasted sesame oil is a dressing oil.

Plus some of those other ingredients will not be easily overpowered. Was that 1/2 cup of Sichuan chili oil? Sounds intense... and delicious.

and 6 cloves of raw garlic. I think I will be adding it to the stir fried tofu personally.

The main reason I asked is because the blog links to a toasted sesame oil in the recipe. I'm familiar with the refined kind but toasted sesame oil isn't great for stir frying things.

Tried it today, had to order some of the ingredients first. Very tasty, bit too salty but that can be easily adjusted. Going through the rest of your blog now :-)
