太 白(たいはく)ごま油(あぶら)

たいはくごまあぶら

noun

unroasted sesame oil

1. unroasted sesame oil; pale sesame oil

Sesame oil pressed from raw (unroasted) sesame seeds. Pale and almost colorless, with a mild flavor — unlike the dark, fragrant roasted-sesame oil used as a finishing seasoning.

太白(たいはく)ごま油(あぶら)で揚(あ)げる。

Deep-fry in unroasted sesame oil.

天(てん)ぷらには太白(たいはく)ごま油(あぶら)が合(あ)う。

Unroasted sesame oil goes well with tempura.

太白(たいはく)ごま油(あぶら)は香(かお)りが控(ひか)えめなので、素材(そざい)の味(あじ)を邪魔(じゃま)しない。

Since unroasted sesame oil has a mild aroma, it doesn't interfere with the flavor of the ingredients.

太白(たいはく) literally means "very white," referring to the pale color. Favored for deep-frying tempura and for baking, where the strong aroma of roasted sesame oil would be unwanted.
