--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
