Matching egg-flip rests across stir-fry staple? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sesame oil

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'staple?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'matching egg-flip rests across stir-fry' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'matching' could be 'same' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'same' is found in the answer.
'egg' could be 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'seil' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sesame oil that I've seen is " Substance obtained from seeds".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
