Peanut Crumbs with Spicy Sauce

This homemade **Sichuan Chili Oil** is a flavor-packed condiment that brings heat, nuttiness, and aromatic depth to any dish. Roasted peanuts and sesame seeds add a rich, crunchy texture, while fiery chili powder and fragrant Sichuan peppercorns create a bold, tingling spice. The secret lies in the technique—slow-roasting the peanuts for maximum crispiness, grinding fresh sesame seeds for deep nuttiness, and infusing hot oil with peppercorns for a numbing, citrusy kick. A splash of soy sauce enhances umami, balancing the heat perfectly. Drizzle this vibrant chili oil over noodles, dumplings, or stir-fries for an irresistible burst of flavor. Easy to make yet unforgettable in taste, it’s a must-have for spice lovers!
