Hope

was good to you all and you're not suffering too many ill-effects from over-indulging xmas4

I got a wok for Christmas and want to really get into the Asian cooking so was wondering if anyone could tell me the best replacement for peanut oil. I normally use vegetable oil in cooking but was wanting to get as close as possible to the ingredient required. Hope this makes sense!

Thanks,

Trine

Hi Trine - my guess would be sesame oil, haven't tried it though smile:

Thanks Kerrin. Hubby said to not cook the recipes with peanut oil but I think that would be about 85% of my new 'Cooking with a Wok Bible'. We'd miss out on some good recipes "fry

I just use extra virgin olive oil or canola for everything including stir fry's

Good question... as we can't use peanut nor sesame oil!!! 5doh

I know our local Chinese restaurant uses Canola.
They use sesame oil to add flavour to specific dishes...
