Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams dried red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 2 pieces star anise
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 5 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon low-carb sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 300 ml peanut oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 20 grams shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the ginger. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a heat-resistant bowl, combine the dried red chili flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, grated ginger, sliced garlic, salt, low-carb sweetener, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches about 160°C (320°F). This will take about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it as you don’t want the oil to smoke.
Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, carefully pour it over the chili mixture in the bowl. Be cautious as the hot oil will sizzle and bubble upon contact with the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Allow the crispy chili oil to cool completely.
Once it has cooled, transfer it into a clean, airtight jar for storage. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Enjoy your low-carb crispy chili oil as a condiment or seasoning to enhance your low-carb dishes, like grilled meats, vegetables, or tofu.
