sesame oil can be a cooking oil, as can olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, almond oil and a variety of other plant based oils. they vary in effectiveness and flavor, as well as the temperature they are able to reach before flaming. when a recipe calls for cooking oil, it most frequently refers to vegetable oil, which is usually a blend of corn, canola and soybean oil. It is basically the cook's choice, based on preferences of caloric content, fat content and flavor. Substitutions are usually acceptable unless the oil is a key component of the recipe due to flavor, viscosity or temperature while cooking.

The sproutlings seem to like the sun, but they can dry up easily, and they don't like too much water either, but all in all they seem to possess a lot of vitality.
