Buttermilk

you can easily make your own "buttermilk" but taking 1 cup of milk and adding a couple teaspoons of cider vinegar to it (lemon juice works too), stirring and letting it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes. The milk will curdle a bit and might even separate but it's fine to use. Even milk that has soured from age is safe to use in baking recipes that call for buttermilk. 

sesame seed oil

The best substitute for sesame oil is to make it yourself with sesame seeds and a vegetable or canola oil. For every 1 tbsp of sesame oil needed, sauté 1½ tsp of sesame seeds in ½ tsp of vegetable or canola oil.
