Everyone’s taste buds have different preferences, but the charm of food can transcend cultures and national boundaries.
In the world of gourmet food, edible oil plays an important role, not only adding deliciousness to dishes, but also affecting our health.
In my years of exploring and savoring, I’ve rounded up some particularly delicious cooking oils that not only excel in cooking but also make my food journey even better.
1. Olive oil: Taste: It is no joke to say it is mellow.
When you smell it, it smells like the sun, rich and warm.
Smack it, and the smooth feeling after entering the mouth is like silk passing over the tongue. It is really a different experience.
Once, I grilled a piece of chicken breast with olive oil. When I ate it, the meat was tender and smooth, with a faint fruity aroma. The satisfaction I felt was simply indescribable.
Despite its richness, it is also an ambassador of health.
It is full of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, which not only lower cholesterol, but also boost the heart.
I once used it to fry some potato slices. When I bit into them, they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The rich olive oil flavor mixed with the sweetness of potatoes was really delicious.
Let me tell you, the taste of olive oil is not only the taste of ingredients, but also the taste of mood.
Its existence makes me look forward to every meal.
Whether mixed with salad or fried fish, it can bring a special scenery to the dish.
Every time you cook, it's like making a wonderful investment in your taste buds and your health.

2. Sesame oil: Texture, taste: This oil is amazing, its taste is rich and smooth.
It has a strong nutty aroma with subtle floral and light woody notes.

Whether it's salad or stir-fry, sesame oil enhances the flavor of any dish, adding a special aroma and flavor to the overall taste.
Not only can the dishes be fried with great color and fragrance, but it also has a bonus point - it is good for the body.
I heard that its fatty acid content is quite powerful, which is good for the heart and blood vessels, and it can also lower bad cholesterol.
Therefore, when I usually stir-fry vegetables, I never forget to pour a few drops of this fragrant sesame oil. I feel that my mother's love is also stir-fried into it.
Once, I made sesame oil bibimbap, and it tasted absolutely amazing.
Imagine the perfect combination of rice and sesame oil, with a little bit of sweetness in every bite.

Talking about my mother's cooking when I was a child, I remember that she prepared it carefully every time, such as the cold noodles mixed with sesame oil. The taste is simply synonymous with happiness.
In this noisy world, sesame oil is the emotional link between me and my hometown.
As soon as I opened the bottle cap, the rich aroma hit my face, as if it took me back to my childhood kitchen.
I especially want to recommend sesame oil to everyone, not only because of its delicious taste, but also because it makes you feel at home in a different place, making you feel that no matter how noisy the world is, your heart is warm.
In short, let us use sesame oil to connect the emotional chain of taste buds and memories, taste the taste of monks one bite at a time, and feel the care of family.

Its unique aroma and taste impart a subtle coconut flavor to food, adding a unique layer of deliciousness to dishes.
Using coconut oil in cooking can add richness to dishes and is suitable for a variety of cooking methods including sautéing, sautéing, roasting and frying.
Coconut oil is commonly used in Asian and tropical dishes such as curry, Thai fried rice, coconut milk chicken, and more.
It imparts a mild coconut aroma to dishes, creating a unique flavor experience that is endlessly memorable.
I once used it to stir-fry Thai curry, and the collision of flavors made me thoroughly addicted.
But what’s special about this guy is not just the taste, it’s also great for the body.
I heard that it contains medium-chain fatty acids, which can speed up metabolism, give you quick energy, calm down hunger, and help you lose weight.
I use coconut oil to stir-fry and it doesn't feel greasy at all, but feels light and energetic.
Why is coconut oil recommended?
What can I say, it can withstand high temperatures and can be fried or roasted.
It can also be spread on bread and mixed into cereal, so it's extremely versatile.
I also came up with a new trick, adding a few drops to the coffee, and I immediately had a cup of fragrant "coconut coffee" that made me want to stop.
