Crispy Garlic Galangal Oil ខ្ទឹមចៀន

I grew up always having this garlic oil as a condiment for any soup or noodle dish. I remember there were days when I would wake up to the apartment filled with amazing aromatics from the sizzling garlic in oil. I would get up and run to my mom to see what she was cooking up. There is just no other delicious smell like it.

I enjoy putting this garlic oil into my kuyteav, pho, or various soups. It definitely elevates the dish and adds this amazing aroma to the dish with a slight bitterness from the fried garlic. I typically like to fry the garlic in a neutral oil or a high smoke point oil. For this recipe I used olive oil because it is what I had. But, vegetable oil works great as well.

Once you add this to your dishes, you will be wanting to make a batch and store it in your fridge because it really makes the dish even better.

My secret to my version of this garlic oil is that I add a bit of galangal for an extra earthy bite with a subtle spice.

If you really love garlic, make this and you will be thanking yourself because it is just too good!

I like to buy my garlic pre pealed in little bags. It is much easier than sitting pealing garlic yourself!
