Ingredients needed 🛒10 servings
- cooking oil 500ml
- green onions 2 stalks
- onions 1/2
- whole garlic cloves 15
- ginger 2 pieces
Recipe 🍳
- Wash two green onions thoroughly and tear them by hand or cut into large pieces; similarly, cut half an onion into large chunks.
- Press 15 whole garlic cloves firmly with the back of a knife to crush them, allowing their aroma to release fully, and slice two pieces of ginger thinly into rounds.
- Pour 500ml of cooking oil into a pan or pot, then add all prepared vegetables at once.
- Turn on high heat and simmer until the vegetables release moisture and bubbles rise vigorously.
- Continue cooking until all moisture evaporates, bubbles become smaller, and the vegetables turn golden brown.
- Once the vegetable aroma has fully infused into the oil, turn off the heat and strain out the solids using a sieve.
- Let the finished oil cool completely at room temperature, then transfer it to clean glass jars or containers for storage and future use.
- Cut green onions and onions into large pieces; crush garlic cloves and slice ginger thinly.

Cooking tips 💡
- Do not use minced garlic—this can make the oil cloudy and cause burning. Always use whole garlic cloves crushed by hand.
- Cook until vegetables are fully browned to ensure all moisture evaporates, improving shelf life and deepening flavor.
- Replace regular cooking oil with this aromatized oil when making fried rice or seasoned vegetables for a noticeable improvement in dish quality.
