Ingredients
- 1 L Neutral oil (For confit and aroma oil base)
- Shallots (Fresh, for aroma oil layer)
- Garlic (Fresh, for aroma oil layer)
- Lemongrass (Fresh, for aroma oil layer)
- Galangal (Fresh, for aroma oil layer)
- Lime leaves (Fresh, for aroma oil layer)
- Herb husks and stems (Used to infuse the oil)
- Thai chilies (Dried and crushed)
- Umami paste (Secret savory paste (vegan/gluten-free))
- Roasted peanuts (For texture and flavor)
- Roasted rice (Toasted and ground for crunch)
Steps
- 1
Prepare the fresh Thai herbs by cleaning and slicing the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves. Keep the husks and stems as they will be used for the initial oil infusion.
- 2
Begin the aroma oil infusion by heating a large volume of neutral oil. Add the herb husks and stems to start building the base flavor.
- 3
Confit the fresh herbs layer by layer. Each herb (shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves) must be added and cooked at a low temperature individually as they all take different amounts of time to reach the desired consistency.
- 4
Continue the confit process over a period of 24 hours to ensure the oil is deeply infused with the seven layers of aromatics.
- 5
In a separate container, prepare the chili base by combining the Thai chilies with the secret umami paste.
- 6
Add the roasted peanuts and roasted rice to the chili mixture for texture and savory depth.
- 7
Carefully combine the hot infused aroma oil with the chili and peanut mixture. The heat from the oil will further bloom the spices and paste.
- 8
Allow the mixture to cool and settle before jarring. Ensure each jar contains a balanced ratio of the infused oil and the crispy aromatics.
Notes
This is a commercial-scale recipe adapted for home understanding. The process takes approximately 4 days from sourcing to final labeling. The oil is naturally vegan and gluten-free. The 'secret umami paste' is a proprietary blend but likely contains ingredients like fermented soybean or mushroom powder to maintain the vegan profile.
