Make chili oil at home with simple pantry staples.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons crushed red pepper
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 whole star anise
  • 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 cup neutral oil (such as peanut, vegetable, or canola)
Instructions:
  • Collect all ingredients needed for the recipe.
  • Place crushed red pepper, cinnamon stick, star anise, Szechuan peppercorns, and garlic in a heatproof bowl, mixing them together.
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 225-250 degrees F (110-120 degrees C), about 3-4 minutes, or until a few flakes of crushed red pepper sizzle in the oil.
  • Drizzle oil over aromatic spices and allow them to infuse until completely cooled, approximately 1 hour.
  • Pass the spices through a fine mesh sieve, if preferred.
  • Label the container and refrigerate for up to 6 months. For optimal flavor, ensure you always use clean utensils when handling the oil.
