Can you substitute sesame oil for peanut oil in chinese recipes?

I have a chicken broccoli stir fry recipe that calls for peanut oil I have sesame oil on hand.

Do you think regular canola oil or the sesame would be better?Can you substitute sesame oil for peanut oil in chinese recipes?
sesame oil is quite strong in flavor...peanut oil has a mostly neutral one. Yes canola would be a better alternative
In this recipe, it should be fine. The sesame oil flavor in the stir fry would go good with the broccoli. However, Sesame oil should not always be substituted for peanut oil. In most cases, peanut oil is used to deep fry food. The others are correct, Canola oil would be the much better substitute of the 2 in other recipes.Can you substitute sesame oil for peanut oil in chinese recipes?
You can substitute peanut oil for a regular canola oil or vegetable oil. I would not use sesame oil as it has quite a distinct flavour and is very strong. It is usually used at the end to flavour dishes such as soups, broths, stir-fries, meat dishes and noodles or add to dumpling fillings. It is also great in salad dressings and marinades.
It really depends on what other spices you are using as well. By the sounds of it though, I think sesame oil would. I happen to really like its flavor. But be careful it is very strong. The littlest amount goes a long way. So start out with literally a couple drops, mix it around and taste it, then continue adding if need be.Can you substitute sesame oil for peanut oil in chinese recipes?
Use the canola oil. Sesame oil has a low heat tolerance unlike the canola oil. If you are making a marinade for the chicken put some sesame oil in it for flavor. You don't need a lot of the sesame oil for it to impart its flavor.
No, you cannot. Sesame oil is for flavoring and has a low burn temperature. Assuming you are going to stir fry. I'd go with the canola for cooking and sesame for flavoring.
I find sesame oil is more prone to burning but great added at the end.
in general, peanut oil is used in cooking, and sesame oil is used as a condiment to add at the end.
No peanut oil is used for it's high smoke point and sesame for it's flavour or for opening doors in magic shows .use canola for frying at high temp
