 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2   c            Corn or Peanut oil
    2       tb           Japanese Sesame Oil
      1/4   c            Dried red chili flakes
    1       tb           Szechwan Brown Peppercorns
    1       lg           Clove garlic: smash and peel
    2       tb           Fresh ginger -- fine julienned
      1/3   c            Scallion rings -- green+white
    2                    Lemongrass stalks -- see note
    4       md           Lemon -- just the minced zest
 
   :       Notes: Lemongrass, 2 stalks pounded then cut
   crosswise into finger lengths, 3 inches. Szechwan
   Peppercorns should be just the blossoms, not the
   seeds, available in Asian markets.
   :       #1 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.
   :       #2 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.
   :       #3 Remove and discard the lemongrass. Scrape
   the oil and seasonings into an impeccably clean
   container.
