Made these exactly as written except that I used canola oil instead of olive oil. We thought the flavor was excellent, but there was way too much oil for our taste. I will definitely make these again, but will start w/ 1 tsp each of oil and sesame oil and increase from there if necessary. Reviewed for PAC Fall 2008.
