Chili Oil
Directions
- 1To a heatproof bowl, add your pepper flakes (a blend of gochugaru, Aleppo, and regular red crushed pepper flakes is recommended).

- 3Give this a good stir and set it aside.
- 4To a medium saucepan, add about a cup to a cup and a half of a neutral oil.
- 5Season the oil with a bay leaf, two cinnamon sticks, two to three star anise, and a couple of cloves.
- 6Infuse the oil with a little bit of Sichuan peppercorn for mouth-numbing floral heat and some five spice.
- 7Bring the oil up to 250 degrees or let it simmer over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 8Strain the hot oil over the chili flake garlic mixture.
- 9Bottle the chili oil up and keep it in the fridge.
