Ingredients
To make your own ginger-infused cooking oil, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed oil)
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious ginger-infused oil:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the neutral oil with the sliced ginger. If you’re using garlic or peppercorns, add those as well.
- Heat the mixture over low heat for about 30-40 minutes, allowing the flavors of the ginger to infuse into the oil. Be careful not to let it boil; you want a slow infusion.
- Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking at the bottom.
- Once the oil has taken on a rich ginger flavor and aroma, remove it from heat and let it cool completely.
- After cooling, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ginger slices and any other solids.
- Transfer your ginger-infused oil into a sterilized bottle or jar. Make sure it’s sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dark place.
- Your ginger-infused cooking oil is ready to use! It can be drizzled over vegetables, used for stir-frying, or even incorporated into salad dressings.
This flavorful oil not only adds depth to your dishes but also serves as a great gift for your friends and family. Give it a try and enjoy the added zing to your culinary creations!
