Olives are commonly served as salad ingredients and pizza toppings. Of course they are fruits but so are several other vegetables like peppers and tomatoes. Peanuts? A legume. Legumes are considered vegetables in many (but not all) European languages and French even refers to vegetables in general with the word 'legumes'. Sunflowers aren't commonly regarded as vegetables but they absolutely are a vegetable, as the entire plant is edible and the greens can be used in salads. Avocados are a slightly different cup of tea but again they could be used as a vegetable. They're mostly used as a source of fat or even as a dairy substitute and are also not vegetables in the botanical sense of the word but again, a good case can still be made for grouping them in the vegetable category.

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

One thing to note is to keep track of the ambient temperature in your home when making this. If your jar feels cold, submerge it i warm water to warm up the glass before dumping in the hot oil. Otherwise you can subject your jar to thermal shock and it can possibly crack, leading to boiling hot oil spilling. And or just a massive mess to clean up.

[@andyv2209]

That alone is not enough to keep it safe from the temperature shock but it's better than nothing. Better to just use a ceramic or metal bowl for sure.

[@violetove5757]

Tips from an actual chinese person/home chef: - Flavour your neutral oil or rendered animal fat slowly at low heat with a mirepoix mix (sub/add ginger, green onion, cilantro) including green onion before pouring - Missing a lot of chinese spices such as bay leaves, tsaoko, cloves, amomum cardamom… - Different sources of dry chillies and szechuan peppercorns (green and red) will have different flavours/numbing effect. A blend of at least three different chillies is typically used, not just one. - Don’t add soy sauce or vinegar here, keeping the oil “clean” will help it last longer - Pour the oil three separate times at controlled temps to preserve colour, flavour, and fragrance (One method is to pour 1/3 of the oil at 240C for fragrance and wait until the bubbles settle; 1/3 of the oil at 150C for spice; last 1/3 of the oil at 110C for colour)

so i've made this several times now and here's my tips! 1) put the toasted anise, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorns in a tea bobber, that way you can still infuse the oil without having crunchy bits to bite on later. 2) avocado oil is pricier than veg oil but imo tastes better in this. it also solidifies more when kept in the fridge; makes it easy to spoon out a chunk of oil. 3) even in the quick version chinkiang (black) vinegar is a must.

[@davidgood840]

I also don't like the inedible spices lurking in the jar , especially when serving it to guests . No one expects to have to carefully avoid biting down on twigs from a table condiment .

Hell yeah, this was the comment I was looking for! Question though: Do you think grinding down the star anise, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorns to keep in the jar would be okay?

[@user-vr7df9hv2v]

I made this chili oil a few weeks ago, though I didn't follow the recipe exactly (but that's what cooking is all about). I used peanut oil and my own homegrown chili peppers mostly cayenne and thai chilies, some habaneros, tabasco and whatever else I had left from last years harvest. Incredibly tasty. It got a nice heat, really the perfect intensity for my taste, which doesn't linger too long or becomes overpowering. And the flavor is so rich and intense. When I made it I was afraid that I would take months to finish that one jar, but I might have to make another batch rather soon. Me and my brother just put it on about everything. Rice, noodles, eggs, pizza, meat, bread. It turns any ordinary bland freezer meal into a symphony of flavor. Especially when you also put some of the fried onions and garlic on your meal.

[@pgbrown12084]

@ThatDudeCanCook Pro tip I got from a chinese chef in south africa. Slightly dampen your dry ingredients with some soy sauce. Then when adding the oil, add about 15% 1st and mix. this will temper the dry ingredients, then 10 seconds later, add the rest. This prevents super hot oil from destroying flavour compounds and get maximum extraction into the oil. I have not done this yet. Waiting to get my hands on Xiao mi la peppers. (Chinese version of Birds Eye)

[@SgtMantis]

I think I did this by accident. At first I thought I ruined the recipe because I added the vinegar and soy sauce about ten minutes before I threw in the oil. The result was that the chili flakes were wet at the bottom. After the oil went in it didn't sizzle much. Eventually I put the lid on the jar and shook everything up while it was hot. I think I'm going to be ok judging by your description.

[@violetviolet888]

[@tonysopranoswife1834]

To avoid scalding and burning your chilli peppers and sesame seeds, if you add in some cold avocado oil first, stir up to make a paste almost, then the hot oil when it hits the jar doesn’t burn the peppers. Remove as many seeds as possible from the chilli peppers first before crushing…it’s less tongue burning heat and more deep, smoky heat and then the the other flavours aren’t being drowned out. Also, adding 1-2tbls of sugar to the chilies in the jar is a nice balance to the hot oil. Also, add in t -2tsp of sesame oil when the oil cools down just slightly. Different touches to the same oil. I make a big jar of this every couple months , use it on everything from cheese n crackers, to noodles, salads, eggs, even in my Asian and Mexican marinades. It’s sooo versatile ❤

[@alexispellegrini5736]

Solid tips for oiling. I thought the oil needed to be (boiling) hot when added to the jar, to make sure you toast/cook the chilies?

Also, will have to make 2 jars now (with seeds and without) to find out if this makes a pleasant difference. Good post!

[@tonysopranoswife1834]

@@alexispellegrini5736. I learned from a retired Chinese chef on KZbin that said adding boiling oil to raw chilies and sesame without tempering the spices first just scalded the chilies and sesame. His recipe is far more refined and I’ve tried the Instagram version like this one posted here and see what the Chinese chef was talking about. But for sure try different versions! I do a version without leaving cinnamon in as long because it can really take over and I find the cinnamon ends up as the final note when I’d rather have the other flavours finish. Also, search an Asian market for chili’s or chili flakes because they’re smokier than American chili’s. Have fun!!

There is a technique Chinese chefs use, I see them on Livestream doing it. For the fast method instead of dumping all the oil in at once, add the oil slowly part by part to the dry ingredients. This process is known as 'blooming' and is how traditional Sichuan chilli oil is made. The key to blooming technique is to add as little oil at a time as possible. Leading to the most intense flavour in the quickest time.

[@jennarodriguez9858]

I saw this video for the first time about a week ago and couldn't get it off my mind because it looked so good. I finally made some yesterday, I would say it was between the ultimate version and the basic version. I feel like I substituted or omitted over half the ingredients in the recipe, and it still is SO GOOD. I'm obsessed.

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I can't wait to try it out.

[@Injrocksyt]

Made this yesterday and it is truly amazing! Never tasted anything quite like it. Thanks for the vid!

The 5 ingredient oil + MSG is something I was introducted to by a friend many years ago and I swear by it as the proper topper for any savory snack.

Yes I appreciate having both the long and short version. Now I can start making a few batches!

[@GMLVslots]

If you have access with fresh chilies such as Thai chillies, Ill tell you the smell is really great too! It has fresh fruity yet pungent. It has a different aroma compared to dried one

[@Terri_MacKay]

OMG...that looks so delicious!! I have the ingredients on hand to make the simple oil, and I think I might do that right now!! Rarely does a video make my mouth water, but this one did it. 😋

[@apefu]

1) You may think msg is optional. I used to think so too. It is optional if you hate taste. 2) Start the garlic with cool oil and heat them up until toasted. Make sure not to burn the garlic. 3) Consider adding fermented black beans

[@BloodwyrmWildheart]

MSG is a crutch. If you need it for taste, you can't cook delicious food.

[@MaximillianRobesphere]

@@BloodwyrmWildheart The first suggestion was for you then

[@sophiophile]

I've got nothing against MSG, but plenty of things are very high % glutamic acid salts, so you don't need to add it in that form. Soy sauce itself is already a couple percent MSG. You can get it from a variety of sources. What is hilarious is how many people swear off MSG, while using ingredients which naturally have high levels of MSG

[@MaximillianRobesphere]

@@sophiophile Agreed!

[@pong9000]

For many palates MSG can partially replace sodium chloride. This may satisfy doctor's orders. Also glutimate taste can be enhanced, so you require less. Here's how: Add a trace amount of disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate (E627 and E631, respectively; or combined: "I+G"). Aim for 1/20th those combined, to 1 part MSG. Or use them to accentuate the natural glutimate of your ingredients.

[@wolfiepyxiestudios1408]

Honestly fresh sauce on ramen honestly sounds really good. I’m curious if you’ll do other versions of this type of sauce oil. I personally love teriyaki ramen and would be very interested in being able to make my own.

[@Raymondfood]

❤Chili sauce is my favorite dish when eating mixed noodles. Thank you for your very clear instructions

[@czajnis1970]

I did quick version with fresh chillis and cinnamon powder and still so good and full of flavor!

[@reeferfranklin]

I really gotta commend you for this video...by providing the complex chili oil first, then showing the simple, quick chili oil, you gave me an outline to work off of and I can raid my pantry for any of the other items I have without worrying too much about the ones that I do not (and I have quite a few of those ingredients, like the whole spices that you normally find in a pho.

My life will never be the same. My mind is blown. I made the long recipe exactly as instructed, with all the same ingredients (a little challenge to track down everything). Thus begins a new chapter of my life. 🎉

[@barbaramanning8299]

Making your own chili oil is so easy and so good! I can eat this chili oil alone! My point is that it's incredibly flavorful, but not spicy. In other words, it will not blow the top of your head off, but it will blow your mind. I've used this chili oil over soft and hard cheeses at room temp and warmed, and served as an appetizer. I use it as a condiment on my air-fried chicken wings or legs. It has transformed my Thanksgiving turkey table. For many of my guests, it has replaced gravy. I make batches of it as Christmas gifts. I watch a lot of YT cooking videos. I can tell you that you need to make this. It will make your life so much better.

[@Elizabeth-cg9xn]

what chilis do you use, that it isn't too spicy?

[@castironkev]

Love the easy step by step instructions, I definitely need it 😅😅

[@csy897]

Tips: You can just buy 5 spice powder from asian grocery store instead of buying the spices separately. And even though it is not very right, I'd use korean gochukaru cus it is not so spicy. Chinese chillis BURN especially the seeds.

[@itzmenik6089]

That's a great suggestion, do you know how much to use then if you're going for the long version, also another dumb question, how much is actually one cup?

[@OptimusSatanas]

Except most 5 spice mixes that are premade suck, as most dont use szechuan peppercorns and sub white or black pepper instead.

[@csy897]

@@OptimusSatanas Call me sacrilegious but I actually don't like 麻 taste of szechuan peppercorns.

Momofuku is the one chili oil/crisp I'm obsessed with atm I put it on just about everything I eat, will be adding this to my try list for the future. 🙂

[@lisasmith8170]

I am a momofuku obsessed individual as well on all things Asian or rice alone. I made this yesterday, it Is very good but not comparable to Mmfk. I think I this will be a great multi purpose finishing oil for me for general cooking. I imagine on veggies and potatoes , most meats as well.

[@catthebest9720]

Just made this with gochugaru pepper and rice vinegar. After I put it on egg noodles it worked like a time machine, turning me back to Y2K when your regular oil pack in ramen had similar smells and roast taste. But this one is better as it has way more anis, cloves, and cinnamon aftertaste. With the spring onion, shallot, and garlic flakes it has become the best breakfast I've had lately. Thank you for sharing, now I have to experiment a lot to make this perfectly fit my taste.

[@capn3ll176]

Thank you for validating me. Cut both ends of garlic, and v-cut the onion/shallot. These I self taught by spending years of doing/trying.

[@knightsofneeech]

I really enjoy your efficient tutorial without a lot of extras. Everything you say is important and you are a great teacher. Thanks for a nice video and something different than the chili crisp I currently make

[@bioxid]

search for "chinese red oil recipe" for far better recipes. This one is backward.

[@LotteLattes]

​@bioxid yeah but its also cheap which the others arent and require chinese spices and stuff youd have to order online or from an Asian grocery which some of us dont want to go out of our way for

[@bioxid]

@@LotteLattes there are no expensive spices in these recipe, and the "hardest" to find is black cardamon. Worth something like 2€ for a nice pack. Anyway, his recipe is broken because it is litterally backward. And borderline dangerous because he tells people to pour boiling oil on a water based liquid.

[@timelessperspective]

My mother-in-law is from Chaozhou and the way she taught me to peel garlic changed my life. All you do it is crush the garlic with the side of the blade. Not only does that make the skin fall off, but it releases all it's juices. The only thing stronger is grating the garlic, but crushing it is SOOOOOO fast it's hilarious.

[@user-wi8lb3nb7d]

2:47 the Chinese/ Sichuan dried chili is indeed basically the árbol chili. I’ve bought both and tried them side by side and can’t tell the difference much if at all. I think they were the same chili pepper not long ago and after century or two of being grown in different areas, they slightly changed.

[@9catlover]

This seriously my fav kind of food. i just came back from a holiday in Amsterdam. Near Centraal station they have a sichuan restaurant where i ordered cold sichuan chilli tofu noodles...it was the best thing ever. i had to have it for 2 days straight.

Wow it looks really good! Thanks for mentioning about peanut oil. 😳 I'm allergic and I never thought to ask when I've had it in the past.

Making this, this afternoon. I don't have Chinese chilli flakes, but I just finished oven drying my own chillis from my garden.

[@ConservativeBaddieTV]

For perfectly peeled garlic: cut the bottom off of the entire clove (keep tops). Separate the bulbs; put them in a covered bowl & shake it

[@Vubbiesss]

Been a subscriber for years! Finally decided to make something from the channel and glad I stumbled upon this. Delicious!!! So much more depth of flavor compared to the standard chili oil at Asian restaurants. One change I would make is to put the cloves in a spice bag or just turn them into a powder after toasting them. They are very hard and are a pain when you bite into one. Thanks sonny!

[@joshster94]

Speaking of spices and flavours - could you please make a video explaining things like: - why is salt and pepper considered the basic seasoning for a lot of dishes? - How do you know which herbs go together with which dish - beef steak and thyme, lamb and rosemary etc etc?

[@violetviolet888]

@joshster94: There are TONS of videos on basic cooking all over the internet. Look for Helen Rennie and Kenji Lopez

[@Sushii555]

I would advise that if you use onions and fried garlic that youd store it in the fridge. Garlic infused oil puts a pretty quick shelf life on it, storing it outside the garlic can produce some harmful bacteriad

Wow, what a fantastic recipe! The flavors and presentation are truly mouthwatering. 💞🌟 I'm always intrigued by innovative uses of ingredients. However, I just wanted to share a little insight regarding the choice of cassia over cinnamon. You are not using true cinnamon, which comes from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum, but rather cassia, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia. While in many countries cassia is synonymous with cinnamon, in some regions it's prohibited to sell cassia under the name of cinnamon. Cassia: robust sweetness, bold aroma, thicker bark. Cinnamon: gentler sweetness, delicate fragrance, thinner bark. **Cassia contains a significant amount of COUMARIN, a hepatotoxic compound, compared to cinnamon, where it is found in very small quantities**
