Spicy Stir-Fry Oil

 

4 slices ginger, 1/4 " -thick

2 small hot dried chiles

2 garlic cloves, peeled

zest of 1 orange, removed with a peeler or knife

1 cinnamon stick

1 star anise pod

1 teaspoon whole allspice

1 teaspoon coriander seed

1 quart olive oil

 

In a quart-size glass bottle or jar, place all of the ingredients except for the

oil. Drizzle the oil over the top of the mixture, and make sure that everything

is thoroughly immersed in the oil. Cover and set aside for 2 weeks.

Strain the mixture through a coffee filter. Transfer the flavored oil to another

bottle or several bottles. Label and date the bottle or bottles. Store in the

refrigerator to prevent it from going rancid.

Use this oil for stir-fries, grains, noodles, salads, and dressings.

Makes 1 quart.
