Hot Chili Oil image

This is the hot oil you sometimes get in Chinese restaurants to drizzle in your soups, dumplings etc. at the table. I use it on EVERYTHING. even ice cream! Its best to make this OUTSIDE. The fumes can be wicked.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup dried red chili pepper (stems removed)
1 cup oil (I prefer a blend of safflower and toasted sesame oil but any light oil can be used.)

Steps:

  • Put the dried peppers in a dry frypan and set stovetop heat on high. (I use a camping stove outside) .
  • Toast, roast, stir and toss the peppers until they get dark in areas but are still basically red and they become very AROMATIC.
  • Let them cool a bit and then put them in a food processor with the oil.
  • Process for a few moments.
  • Pour into a nice container and keep it on your table.
  • It will be gone in no time--.
