SHISO OIL
posted by Supertaster on Thu, 2009-02-19 04:36
I just saw some shiso oil for the first time in our local Japanese grocery store in the olive oil section. I was tempted to buy a bottle, but I wanted to learn more about its use and shelf life before plunking down 1100 yen. Would it be just as easy to make my own? Thanks!

If you can grow your own shiso (it's very easy to do so; the only sort of difficult part is getting the seeds to sprout - see a dozen Japanese herbs and vegetables to grow) then I would say shiso oil is a waste of money... Also shiso oil is not really a traditional Japanese ingredient per se; it's a nice-to-have item but not essential or anything.
