| 1 | Ginger oil can be made quickly by putting twelve slices of ginger and a half cup of peanut oil in a small frying pan and cooking over medium heat until the ginger is browned and the oil is almost smoking. |
| 2 | Remove the pan from the heat and take out the ginger; what remains is a tasty oil that you can use to dress pasta or make into a sauce for fish. |
| 3 | For a spicier oil, add a few whole, dried hot peppers with the ginger. |
| 4 | For the simplest sauce made from ginger oil, just whisk in two tablespoons of soy sauce (i like kikkoman"s best). |
| 5 | This quantity is enough to sauce about two pounds of fish fillets--salmon, tuna,or whitefish. |
| 6 | For a light main dish, poach the fish--and add a few thin slices of ginger to the poaching liquid. |
