It&rsquo;s a condiment I repeatedly encourage people to try as it makes every dish shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular in many regions in China, it has numerous restaurant and family versions with names, such as <em>Y&oacute;u P&#333; L&agrave; Zi\/&#27833;&#27900;&#36771;&#23376;<\/em>, <em>L&agrave; Ji&#257; Y&oacute;u\/&#36771;&#26898;&#27833;<\/em>, <em>H&oacute;ng Y&oacute;u\/&#32418;&#27833;<\/em>, <em>Y&oacute;u L&agrave; Zi\/&#27833;&#36771;&#23376;<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saveur.com\/food\/chile-crisps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I was interviewed by SAVEUR<\/a>, growing up in Gansu province in Northwest China, &ldquo;<em>chili oil was a kitchen counter mainstay, as essential and ubiquitous as soy sauce or rice vinegar<\/em>&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My parents&rsquo; homemade chili oil taught me how to appreciate spicy food. This opened the door to a more extensive gastronomic world (and unexpectedly influenced my blog name years later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from being hot, another key characteristic of chili oil lies in its distinctive aroma and fragrance. That is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CixC5aNDYyG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I used &ldquo;<em>Not Just Hot<\/em>&rdquo; to name my fund-raising supper club<\/a> in London which had several dishes dressed with my homemade chili oil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"why-make-your-own\">Why make your own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chili-oil-and-spices-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"chili oil and spices\" class=\"wp-image-24024\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial chili oil isn&rsquo;t hard to find nowadays, but I strongly recommend you make your own from scratch. Here are a few reasons why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It tastes better than most, if not all, shop-bought chili oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There aren&rsquo;t any hidden, &ldquo;suspicious&rdquo; ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&rsquo;s very simple to make. And it&rsquo;s cheap too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can make a big batch as it has a long shelf life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&rsquo;s possible to adjust the spice level based on your tolerance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It makes a wonderful gift for family and friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"pro-tips\">Pro tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I introduce the details of my chili oil recipe, here are some top tips to bear in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#ecf4f2\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li>Source good quality chili flakes no matter where they come from.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in a drop of vinegar (or soy sauce) to prevent burning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take your time to infuse the oil with aromatics and spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test and control the oil temperature to achieve the best aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are several ways to alter the hotness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"ingredients-substitutes\">Ingredients &amp; substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ingredients-for-chili-oil-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients for making chili oil.\" class=\"wp-image-24014\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I classify all the ingredients into five groups. Read on to learn more about each of them and their substitutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chili<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I use <strong>both chili flakes and ground chili<\/strong>. You could use the flakes alone if the latter is unavailable, but the mix of both creates the optimal taste and color (you shouldn&rsquo;t use ground chili alone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/chili-flakes-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"chili flakes.\" class=\"wp-image-24007\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chili flakes<\/strong> are also known as crushed dried chili or red pepper flakes. When choosing them, I think their quality is more important than their origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might see many recipes that limit the choice to Sichuan chili flakes. Please be aware that other Chinese regions (e.g. Shannxi, Gansu, Guizhou, Yunnan, etc.) also produce high-quality chili flakes, and the ones for Indian and Thai cooking are great too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good chili flakes should look fresh, bright and have a fairly even color and size. Also, check the heat level to suit your preference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>By <strong>ground chili<\/strong>, I mean dried chili in powder form without any additional ingredients. It mainly contributes to the color of the chili oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ground-chili-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ground chili.\" class=\"wp-image-24008\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s sometimes labeled as chili powder (e.g. those for Chinese or Indian cooking). I don&rsquo;t recommend chili powder sold in mainstream supermarkets which is usually a mixture of ground chili and other spices, such as cumin, oregano, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paprika and Korean chili powder (<em>Gochugaru<\/em>) are good substitutes, especially if you wish to control the heat, as they are quite mild.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neutral flavored cooking oil<\/strong> with a high smoking point is called for this recipe, such as sunflower, vegetable, canola, rapeseed, corn, peanut, soybean, avocado oil, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olive oil is not recommended as it has a distinctive taste and is not supposed to be used with very high heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/six-spices-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"six different spices.\" class=\"wp-image-24012\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your chili oil stand out, with a profound aroma and a subtle numbing sensation, you&rsquo;d need to include a few spices to infuse the oil. My regular choices are <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/sichuan-pepper-guide\/\">whole Sichuan peppercorns<\/a>, star anise, cassia cinnamon stick, bay leaves, fennel seeds, and Tsao-ko (Chinese cardamom).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try your best to include all of the above. Skip a couple if you find it hard to source. You may replace whole Sichuan pepper with <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/sichuan-peppercorn\/\">ground Sichuan pepper<\/a>. In this case, add it to the chili mix instead of cooking it in the oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aromatics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scallions and ginger<\/strong> are included to lend aroma to the oil. The former can be replaced by sliced shallots or onion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other add-ons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll also need some toasted sesame seeds, salt, and a dash of <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-rice-vinegar\/\">black rice vinegar<\/a> (Chinkiang vinegar) or <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/soy-sauce\/\">soy sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of vinegar is a method popular in the Northwest region of China where I grew up. It moisturizes the chili mix. This helps to prevent burning when the chili comes to contact with the hot oil. It also adds a hint of aroma to the chili oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"equipment\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from a small pan\/pot for heating the oil, you&rsquo;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A large, heat-proof bowl for pouring the hot oil in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small bowl for the chili mix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fine-meshed strainer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A jar for storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>TIP:<\/strong> You could pour the hot oil directly into the jar for storage.

Add a little black rice vinegar (if unavailable, replace it with soy sauce). Mix well and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Heat &amp; infuse the oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cooking-spices-aromatics-in-oil-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"simmering spices and aromatics in oil.\" class=\"wp-image-24029\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour oil into a saucepan (ideally one convenient for pouring). Add all the spices and aromatics. Simmer over low heat until the scallions turn brown (do not burn though). This process usually takes me about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While waiting, make sure within easy reach you have the following ready as the next step needs to be done fast: a large, heat-proof, empty bowl, a fine-meshed strainer, the chili mix, and a spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>TIP:<\/strong> For best-tasting results, do not rush during this step. Keep the heat low and allow enough time for the spices and aromatics to release their aroma fully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Test the oil temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thermometer-showing-350%C2%B0F-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A thermometer showing 350&deg;F.\" class=\"wp-image-24032\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a thermometer, check the oil temperature. When it reaches <strong>350&deg;F\/175&deg;C,<\/strong> remove the pan from the heat. Otherwise, drop a few chili flakes into the oil to test. If they bubble and spin immediately, the oil is hot enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pouring-oil-through-strainer-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"pouring oil through a strainer.\" class=\"wp-image-24031\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour the hot oil into the heat-proof empty bowl through the strainer (discard the spices and aromatics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>TIP:<\/strong> If the chili flakes you use are very fine, you&rsquo;ll need to lower the oil temperature to 320&deg;F\/160&deg;C.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Add the chili mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/adding-chili-flakes-to-hot-oil-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Adding chili flakes to hot oil.\" class=\"wp-image-24027\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Add half of the chili mix to the hot oil. You should see sizzling bubbles straightaway. Add the second half once the bubbles calm down a bit. Use the spoon to mix well. Leave to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>TIP:<\/strong> If you are still unsure whether or not the oil is at the right temperature, spoon in a small amount of chili mix to test. If the bubbles are overly intense and you smell a strong burnt smell, wait for a while to let the oil cool down a bit. If no bubbles appear, you&rsquo;ll need to reheat the oil in the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Leave to infuse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stirring-chili-and-oil-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Stirring chili flakes and oil.\" class=\"wp-image-24033\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once completely cooled, transfer the chili oil to the storage jar. Leave to infuse for at least 12 hours before using. This allows the flavors to combine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"a-fast-alternative-method\">A fast alternative method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m short on time (e.g. only realize my jar is empty while the meal is about to be served), I make a super fast version of chili oil. It&rsquo;s obviously not as good as the recipe above but still good enough to compliment your meal. Here are the simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mix chili flakes, ground chili, ground Sichuan pepper (optional), toasted sesame seeds, and salt. Stir in a little black rice vinegar or soy sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the oil then pour it directly over the spice mixture (test the temperature with a few chili flakes or sesame seeds). Mix well to combine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"how-to-adjust-the-spiciness\">How to adjust the spiciness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spoon-out-chili-oil-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chili oil in a spoon over a jar.\" class=\"wp-image-24018\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A pool of bright red oil may seem super spicy, but good quality chili oil is not supposed to be overly spicy but distinctively aromatic. Here are a few factors that influence its spiciness. Please feel free to customize to suit your own tolerance to heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose chili flakes and ground chili that have a low level of heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The chili seeds contribute a lot to the hotness so use chili flakes that contain few seeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alter the chili-to-oil ratio. If you use less chili and more oil, the overall taste will be milder. Do the opposite if you&rsquo;d like it hotter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The spiciness of the chili oil tends to reduce over time. If you leave it for a couple of weeks, it&rsquo;ll taste less sharp but more fragrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use it sparingly in dishes. Increase the quantity while you grow your tolerance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"ways-to-use-it\">Ways to use it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use a dry, clean spoon to handle chili oil. Since the chili flakes sink to the bottom, stir them first then scoop out a mixture of the oil and the crunchy bits. Some recipes, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/mouth-watering-chicken\/\">Sichuan Mouthwatering Chicken<\/a>, call for red oil only. In this case, pass the chili oil through a strainer to get the pure oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes.jpg\" alt=\"three dishes using chili oil.\" class=\"wp-image-24035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/spicy-dishes-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsure what are the best ways to use this magic condiment?

However, you can easily turn them into chili flakes. Toast them over low heat in a dry pan until fragrant (Remove their seeds before toasting if you like a milder taste). Leave to cool then crush it in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1666392233929\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q: Can I use fresh chili instead?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: Fresh chili pepper isn&rsquo;t suitable for this recipe. Check out my recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/pickled-chili-garlic-sauce\/\">Pickled Chili Garlic Sauce<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chiu-chow-chili-oil\/\">Chiu Chow Chili Oil<\/a> which show great ways to use fresh chilies.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1666392241786\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q: Is this chili oil the same or similar to the commercial chili crisp (e.g. Laoganma chili sauces)?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: They are quite different. This chili oil has a higher oil-to-chili ratio and a &ldquo;cleaner&rdquo; taste which doesn&rsquo;t overpower the key flavors of a dish.<br>Chili crisp tends to have much more solid bits and contain additional ingredients other than chili, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/fermented-black-beans\/\">fermented black beans<\/a>, nuts, dried meat, etc. For certain dishes, I find it undermines other flavors.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"other-homemade-sauces\">Other homemade sauces<\/h2>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-post-listing cwp-large layout-4up-grid\"><header><innerblocks class=\"block-post-listing__title cwp-inner\" template='[[\"core\\\/heading\",{\"level\":2,\"placeholder\":\"Title Goes Here\"}]]' allowedblocks='[\"core\\\/heading\",\"core\\\/paragraph\"]'><\/innerblocks><\/header><div class=\"block-post-listing__inner\"><article class=\"post-summary\"><div class=\"post-summary__image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/pickled-chili-garlic-sauce\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chinese-pickled-chili-garlic-sauce-6-600x800.jpg\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Chinese pickled chili garlic sauce in a jar\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 50vw, 276px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chinese-pickled-chili-garlic-sauce-6-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chinese-pickled-chili-garlic-sauce-6-378x504.jpg 378w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chinese-pickled-chili-garlic-sauce-6-276x368.jpg 276w\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-summary__content\"><h3 class=\"post-summary__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/pickled-chili-garlic-sauce\/\">Pickled Chili Garlic Sauce (Duo Jiao,&#21057;&#26898;)<\/a><\/h3><\/div><\/article><article class=\"post-summary\"><div class=\"post-summary__image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/make-use-spring-onion-oil\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chinese-spring-onion-oil-recipe-card-600x800.jpg\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"A jar of spring onion oil\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 50vw, 276px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chinese-spring-onion-oil-recipe-card-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chinese-spring-onion-oil-recipe-card-378x504.jpg 378w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chinese-spring-onion-oil-recipe-card-276x368.jpg 276w\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-summary__content\"><h3 class=\"post-summary__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/make-use-spring-onion-oil\/\">How to make &amp;
