can I assume that the recipe calls for regular sesame oil and not toasted sesame oil? the latter is such a strong flavor that it's hard to imagine using that much; but at the same time, regular sesame oil is not often found in western markets, and is a very neutral oil. Which one is called for - thanks.

It’s regular sesame oil not toasted. But I’ve used toasted oil in a pinch and it was still tasty!
