| While standard la-yu (chili oil) is often used in small amounts to splash over a dish as a condiment, this chunky Ia-yu has layers of flavor and a nice texture. It goes well with a wide variety of dishes, from rice and grilled fish, meat, or tofu to dumplings. The flavor is mildly hot and not very salty, so you can use a generous amount as a topping or seasoning. Keep it in a cool, dark place for up to a week.—Naoko | |
| 2 cloves | garlic |
| 1 small knob (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) | ginger |
| 1 medium | shallot, quartered |
| 1 | green onion, (white and green parts separated) |
| 1 generous tablespoon | unsalted almonds |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | coarse ground red chiles, (such as Korean gochugaru) |
| 1 teaspoon | raw brown sugar |
| 1/2 teaspoon | ground sansho, (Japanese mountain pepper; optional) |
| 1 teaspoon | sea salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | Asian chicken stock powder |
| 1 tablespoon | white sesame seeds |
| 1/2 teaspoon | sliced dried red chile |
| red pepper flakes, alternative | |
| 1/4 cup (60 ml) | toasted sesame oil |
| 3/4 cup (180 ml) | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 teaspoon | soy sauce |
Combine the garlic, ginger, shallot, white part of the green onion, and almonds in a food processor and pulse until very finely minced but not pureed.
Combine the minced mixture with the rest of the ingredients except for the soy sauce in a saucepan and set over medium-low heat As soon as it comes to a gentle simmer, turn down the heat to low until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and you hear a subtle sound, slowly cook to infuse (but not fry) the ingredients for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is aromatic, stirring a few times. Turn off the heat and remove the green part of the green onion. Add the soy sauce and let it cool down completely.
