no its not hot but it will add a little something to all asian cooking
use it sparingly as it is quite strong about 1/2 tsp to a dish for 4 people
but as you get to know the oil you will find yourself using it a little less sparingly and trying it in many other dishes

try adding it to a salad dressing it is wonderfull

try this
1 cup sour cream (you can use low fat)
about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
1 tablespoon runny honey
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic

mix well and pour over salad

i use this all the time
i hope you like it
