| One of the rules to 'stir-fry, the disco way' is to always, always have tasty oil. Just don't dive for the cheap vegetable oil - I think that stuff is made to be relatively tasteless. Here's what my mom does - it's easy, and it works quite well...
Now, my mom flat refuses to use any sort of measuring devices when cooking. So, this 'recipe' will be my recollection of how she does things. Buy two medium-sized bottles of oil, one cottonseed oil, one linseed oil. Mix them together. Mince three garlic bulbs and add them to the mix. Let the oil steep in the garlic for about a week. Try to remember to shake the mixture every once and a while. After a week, strain the garlic out. And there you have it.
Now, you can obviously add more ingredients to the oil. I like to add some onion and ground black pepper. I've heard adding coriander and cilantro is also worth a taste. Just 'season to taste', I guess. |
