I plan on making frying some tofu in infused oil. To do this, I want to start with some strongly flavored oil.
I intend to fry some whole spices (chilis, mustard, coriander, etc) in oil that is just barely hot enough to bubble around the the spices for a few minutes, then add chopped ginger & garlic til it browns and strain the whole thing. I've never done this, though and I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who has. Specifically,
Thanks

I've never done this, though and I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who has. Specifically,
- how much spice should I use (how much flavor will the oil have??)
- How hot should I cook it (I'm concerned about burning the spices)
Thanks
