Yes, the salad oil in the directions is referring to the vegetable oil...If you have canola oil it's healthier for you and a little lighter flavored.
To toast the sesame seeds, just add them to a non-stick pan and toast them over medium heat until they start to release a bit of their oil & turn golden. Toss them around in the pan a few times while toasting to cook them evenly.
that is your salad oil, and to toast the seeds place them in a shallow pan and cook them in the oven on 350 til they toast, be sure to shake them around or turn them for a even toast.
typically the sesame seeds are sold toasted , if not , put em in the oven for just a minute or 2 at 350 , do not let em brown much , it only takes a couple of seconds to over toast em . veggie oil will do fine . The reason i said oven is you may want to do a bunch at 1x + not go through it twice . or just use a pan for a little
