In a section on basic seasoning, Gary Lee The Chinese Vegetarian Cookbook (Nitty Gritty, 1972) provides instructions on how to flavour oil with sesame.

Sesame oil is for garnishing. If you cannot find it in your stores you can make your own easily, for a little will go a long way in garnishing. Brown a cup of sesame seeds in a dry skillet or toast them in the oven. Try medium heat for browning or 300 degrees in the oven. When you catch the smell of lightly burning it is time to stop. Put the seeds and one cup of oil in the blender and run at high speed for one minute. Strain, and the oil will bear the aroma of sesame. The strength of the aroma and taste will depend upon the degree of toasting — the longer the toasting the stronger the flavor. Not only are you able to satisfy your own taste but you now have a by-product of sesame paste which you can use in cold mixing — or try as peanut butter.
