Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, heat 3 tbsp of the vegetable oil over medium heat; cook garlic and ai peppers, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and ai peppers are so softened, about 2 minutes. Add remaining vegetable oil and sesame oil; cook until oil is warm but not hot. Let cool completely, about1 hour.
Strain oil through fine-mesh sieve; discard solids. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: For a more fragrant, flavourful oil, skip straining and leave in the ai peppers and garlic before serving or bottling.
Makes about 1 cup.
