Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3           cups oil -- corn or peanut
     1/2           cup sesame oil -- Japanese
3              large scallions -- cut into thick green and white
rings
10            slices quarter-size thin coins fresh ginger --
smashed
1 1/2      teaspoons dried red chili flakes -- shockingly pungent
2          teaspoons Szechwan peppercorns

Combine all of the ingredients in a heavy, non-aluminum 1
to 1 1/2 quart
saucepan. Rest a deep-fry thermometer on the rim of the
pot. Over
moderately low heat, bring the mixture to a bubbly 225F,
stirring
occasionally. Let simmer for 15 minutes, checking to
ensure the
temperature does not rise. Remove from the heat and let
stand until cool
or overnight.

Strain the oil without pressing the solids; then, discard
the solids.
Store the oil in an impeccably clean glass jar at cool
temperature.

Makes 1 1/2 cups
