- Remove the Sichuan peppercorns from the oil or pour the oil through a sieve when adding to the chili flakes.
- In a separate pan or container that will withstand the heat of the oil, add the dried chili flakes and salt. Ensure that the container has enough room to fit the oil as well.

This is an amazing chili oil that is so easy to make. I usually buy the crushed chili from the supermarket and then add a couple of tablespoons of crushed birds-eye chilis so as to increase the heat of the oil and give it a bit more bite.
I personally add this oil to my food directly and use it in a lot of my cooking. I hope that you will enjoy the oil as much as I do.
Bon Appetit.
The MAIN ingredient you list is “Crushed Chili”
Since there are so many different types of chilies…
Mind letting us know which one your using today..?
Hi Will – I use pounded Chinese red chili (85 %) mixed with some birds eye chili (15%). The Chinese red chili is available from most of your Chinatown grocery stores. It is a good base chili but does not have the heat that I love which is why I add Birds Eye. If Birds eye is not available I would suggest trying another suitable dried chili until you find the heat and flavor combination that best suits you.
