Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups oil -- corn or peanut
2 Tablespoons Japanese sesame oil
1/4 cup dried red chili flakes -- shockingly pungent
1 Tablespoon Szechwan brown peppercorns
1 large garlic clove -- lightly smashed and peeled
2 Tablespoons finely julienned fresh ginger root
1/3 cup scallion rings -- green and white
2 stalks fresh lemongrass -- pounded, then cut crosswise into finger-lengths
finely minced zest of 3 to 4 well-scrubbed
lemons -- just the minced zest

Combine all the ingredients except for the lemon zest in a heavy,
non-aluminum 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Bring to 223 F degrees on a deep fry
thermometer over moderately low heat and let bubble for 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then stir in the
lemon zest and let stand overnight or until cool.

Remove and discard the lemongrass. Scrape the oil and seasonings into an
impeccably clean container.

Makes about 2 cups (32 one-tablespoon servings)
