I wish I could smell it. Love chili oil.

TheWoksofLife have been my go to for Asian recipes for years. 💯

chili oil with a splash of chinese five spice, sounds good

This looks great! I've been making chili crunch, which seems similar but the order is different. I fry shallots in avocado oil until crispy, and remove them, then fry garlic in the same oil and remove them. I put all the spices and chiles in a giant bowl, heat the oil to 375°F, then pour it over the spices and mix. After it cools, chop the fried shallots and garlic and add them back in. This has turned out amazing. My recipe also includes a good amount of chopped peanuts, and I use dried guajillo, pasilla, and morita peppers because I want it more flavorful than spicy. The Szechuan peppercorns are essential to getting the right flavor though

Recently been obsessed with chili oil but never considered making it. Definitely will now! Thanks for sharing this!

I have a desire to make the beef chili oil that is apparently so good in china after having a homemade fish and shrimp one.

Hey cool I do this too from time to time!

Word of advice that helped me a lot.... Heat the oil and bring it down in temperature then pour it over the dried spices vs. heating spices and oil together. I found it reduced bitterness and astringency quite a bit.
