Like Sam and Nancy, I'd assume toasted. In the video accompanying the recipe, the sesame oil appears darker in tone than a plain oil, suggesting that it is from toasted seeds.
Agree with Sam.
Pamelalee - two further notes.
When a recipe doesn't specify, I feel free to choose...what I have on hand, like, can find in the store.
When the amount is as small as the sesame oil, I also feel free to try the ingredient a few ways. For example, I've used sesame seeds (plain, toasted, white, black, whole or ground) to replace sesame oil when I don't have any in the house. Or even halva, if it's a sweet recipe or one that can stand a little bit of sweetness.
