8 servings
- ½ cup neutral oil (such as avocado oil or light olive oil)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp scallion green tops, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the neutral oil, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the ginger is fragrant and the sesame seeds are lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes — watch closely, as the seeds can darken quickly.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the infused oil cool for 10 minutes, until it is warm but no longer hot to the touch.
