Chili oil is a very practical condiment. It not only brings a spicy taste but also a fragrant aroma, and is often used to mix with cold dishes or to make pastries and snacks. Let's learn how to make chili oil!
Ingredients:
30g chili powder, 100ml oil, 10 Sichuan peppercorns, 1 clove of garlic, 1 section of green onion, 1 star anise
Method:
1. Crush the garlic, cut the green onion into 1cm sections. Put all ingredients except the star anise and oil into a heat-resistant bowl, with the garlic, green onion, and Sichuan peppercorns on top of the chili powder.
2. Pour oil into a wok, add the star anise, and heat over medium heat until the star anise changes color but does not burn black, and a rich aroma is released. Remove the star anise and place it in the bowl with the other ingredients.
3. Continue heating the oil until a small amount of smoke rises. Scoop out some oil and pour it over the ingredients in the bowl, and stir quickly to combine.
4. Continue heating the oil until a large amount of smoke rises. Pour all the remaining oil into the bowl and stir quickly to combine.
