I used Serious Eats’ recipe with a few modifications. Swapped the peanuts out for sesame seeds, and used powdered bouillon in place of salt.

Dried Ginger is earthy instead of spicy and would change the character a lot. Not a problem but something to probably test before committing to a full batch.
Yes, thus my hesitation. I might do it next time I make a batch. This recipe isn’t really worth small batching due to the time investment, but I could set aside maybe 1/4 of it to use dried ginger in and see how it differs.
Another thing I’ve thought about is just frying the fresh ginger like I do with the garlic and shallot, but some of the ginger flavor may get lost.
I was thinking of just doing a test with just oil and just dried ginger.
Can do that as well. But with all the other flavors going on I feel like it might be a better test to separate some of the batch next time.
