INGREDIENTS
1 cup dried chili flakes
3 cloves garlic minced
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 cups avocado oil or olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the red chili flakes, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to a heat-proof bowl.
In a small pot set over low-medium heat, add the oil.
Heat the oil for just 2-3 minutes, making sure it doesn’t boil.
Carefully pour this hot oil into the bowl with your red chili flakes. Stir well while the chili flakes sizzle so as to prevent them from overcooking.
Allow this to cool to room temperature, then transfer into a mason jar or similar airtight container.
Keep in the fridge for up to 6 months and enjoy with any dish!
NOTES
Notes: If you want a more fragrant oil, add aromatics as noted in the article and let simmer 20-30 minutes before straining and pouring over the chili flakes. Other ingredients you can add: star anise, brown sugar, soy sauce, shallots or green onions, sesame seeds, etc.
