How to Make Chili Ginger Infused Oil

  1. Combine 1 cup sesame oil, 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger, 1-2 red chilies, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 clove garlic, minced in a heavy, non-aluminum 1 ½ quart saucepan.
  2. Place a deep-fry thermometer on the rim of the pot.
  3. Over moderately low heat, slowly heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 225°F (107°C).
  4. Reduce heat to maintain 225°F (107°C) and simmer for 15 minutes, ensuring the temperature doesn't rise above 230°F (110°C).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely (or cool overnight for a more intense flavor).
  6. Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar, discarding the solids.
  7. Store the infused oil in a clean, airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months.
