Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil)
- 2 tablespoons Dried chili flakes
- 1 2-inch piece Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by thinly slicing the ginger and garlic.
In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup of neutral oil and set it over low heat.
Add the sliced ginger and garlic to the oil. Heat them gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. The goal is to infuse the oil with their flavors without letting them burn.
Add the dried chili flakes to the oil and stir. Let the mixture simmer for another 3-5 minutes. The chili flakes should release a deep red color into the oil without scorching.
Turn off the heat and let the oil cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, dry jar or bottle, separating out the solids. If you'd like, you can leave some chili flakes in the jar for extra visual appeal and spice.
Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds directly to the strained oil for a nutty flavor and garnish.
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Use within 1 month for the best flavor.
