Ingredients

1 C. peanut oil (see note)
4 thin slices fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 dried whole hot red chili (optional)

Directions

In saucepan, combine oil, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over low heat 15 minutes. Let cool. In a fine-meshed sieve that has been lined with several layers of cheesecloth, strain into jar or bottle. If desired, drop in a whole dried chili. Seal. Keep refrigerated up to 6 months.

Note: Peanut oil is used because of its high smoking point. Do not substitute other oils.

Yield: 1 cup
