Easy homemade chilli oil
Description
The Easy homemade chilli oil recipe combines chili flakes, Sichuan pepper, onion flakes, star anise, garlic, ginger, and salt with light brown sugar to build a spice mix. Hot neutral oil, heated until nearly smoking, is poured over the spices in a heatproof container. The sizzling reaction extracts essential oils and flavors from the spices, infusing the oil with both heat and aroma.
After cooling, the mixture is stored in a sterilized jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. This chili oil offers a balance of spicy, savory, and aromatic notes with a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. It enhances dishes like noodles or various Asian-inspired meals by adding vibrant heat and fragrance.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 star anise
- 4 garlic finely sliced, cloves
- 20 gram ginger finely sliced, peeled, fresh piece
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 250 millilitre neutral oil like vegetable, sunflower or corn
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl or jug, mix together all the ingredients bar the oil. Ensure it's well combined and that the sugar is lump-freeNote: Use a large bowl or jug. Once you pour the oil onto the spices it will bubble up ferociously. It's imperative that the container is heat proof to handle the hot oil. DO NOT USE PLASTIC
- Heat the oil in a deep saucepan on the stove until almost smoking hot. To test it, drop a few chilli flakes into the oil. They should immediately start to sizzle and float to the top.
- Remove the oil from the heat and immediately pour it over the spices. Careful, it will sizzle and spit. It might be easier to do this process inside an empty kitchen sink
- The oil will keep sizzling and foaming for about 2 minutes. Once it's died down, carefully give the mixture a stir with a spoon and leave it to cool down completely
- You can now bottle the mixture in a sterilised jar, or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy over noodles or with a variety of other dishes
