Chilli Oil

Traditional dish with chile flakes, peanut oil.

Ingredients

  • 50 grams chile flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup peanut oil

Steps

  1. Mix the chile flakes and salt in a heat-proof bowl.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon of the oil into the chile flake/salt mixture.
  3. This will prevent the chile from scorching when hot oil is added later.
  4. Heat the peanut oil to about 200°C (392°F).
  5. Small bubbles should form when poking a wooden chopstick into the oil.
  6. Pour the heated oil over the chilli flake mixture.
  7. Stir vigorously.
  8. Allow to cool.
  9. Store in a container.
