Recipe - Ginger Oil

See dir

Ginger oil can be made quickly by putting twelve slices of ginger and a
half cup of peanut oil in a small frying pan and cooking over medium heat
until the ginger is browned and the oil is almost smoking. Remove the pan
from the heat and take out the ginger; what remains is a tasty oil that you
can use to dress pasta or make into a sauce for fish. For a spicier oil,
add a few whole, dried hot peppers with the ginger. For the simplest sauce
made from ginger oil, just whisk in two tablespoons of soy sauce (I like
Kikkoman's best). This quantity is enough to sauce about two pounds of fish
filletssalmon, tuna,or whitefish. For a light main dish, poach the
fishand add a few thin slices of ginger to the poaching liquid. (By
