Red Oil Chili

This aromatic and spicy chili oil recipe is a game-changer for elevating your dishes with deep, layered flavors. The process begins by blending chili powder, white sesame, fennel, and thirteen spices, then infusing hot oil with fragrant cinnamon and Sichuan pepper for a bold kick. The secret lies in the triple-step technique: "frying fragrance" unlocks the spices' aroma, "frying chili" intensifies the heat, and "frying red" delivers that signature vibrant color and rich taste. Perfect for drizzling over cold dishes, noodles, or stir-fries, this versatile chili oil balances smoky, nutty, and spicy notes. The removal of larger spices like cinnamon ensures a smooth texture while keeping the fiery essence. Customize the spiciness to your liking and enjoy a homemade condiment that transforms any meal into a flavor-packed experience.
