Lease miso mix used in Chinese cooking (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
sesame oil
'in chinese cooking' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lease miso mix' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lease'+'miso'='leasemiso'
'leasemiso' with letters rearranged gives 'SESAME OIL'.
'used' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for sesame oil that I've seen is " Substance obtained from seeds".)
