Description

This kaffir lime aioli was originally developed as a dressing for our Thai inspired french fries served at Stella. I love kaffir lime because it just permeates with tropical fruit and citrus. This aioli will work great for just about anything you'd use a citrus aioli for, just taken to the next level.

Ingredients

100gLime Juice (About 3 Limes)
33gGinger (Peeled and Sliced)
10 Kaffir Lime Leafs
10gSugar
3gSalt
1gRed Pepper Flakes
60gVinegar, Rice Wine
1gXanthan Gum
5gSesame Oil
1 Egg Yolks
470gCanola Oil

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except for canola oil, in a blender and blend on medium speed for 20 seconds or until the ingredients form a smooth puree.
  2. Begin slowly streaming in canola oil while working the blender speed up to high as the emulsion starts to form and thicken.
  3. Once oil is completely incorporated and a thick emulsion is formed, place in a squeeze bottle and store in refrigerator. Will keep for 5 days.

Notes

For Thai French Fries, fry shoe string fries in deep fat fryer until golden brown and crispy. Drain into a mixing bowl lined with paper towels and season with kosher salt. Remove paper towels and toss with aioli to taste. Serve with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce.
