Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons dried red chili flakes
- 6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons ginger, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place the olive oil in a small saucepan and set over low heat.
Add the thinly sliced garlic and chopped ginger to the oil and slowly cook for about 10 minutes until the garlic becomes golden and crispy but not burnt. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the garlic is crispy, remove it from the oil using a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In the same oil, add the dried red chili flakes, sesame seeds, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Stir gently and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat to infuse the flavors into the oil.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the soy sauce and salt.
Allow the chili oil to cool down for a few minutes, then add the crispy garlic back into the mixture, stirring to combine.
Transfer the mixture into a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Allow the chili oil to cool completely before sealing the jar. Store in a cool, dark place and use within a month.
