Equipment

  • mortar and pestle
  • small frying pan
  • food processor

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 red chilies
  • 1 small brown onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ginger peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoon szechuan pepper
  • 1 teaspoon five spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 300 ml canola oil
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Grind the szechuan peppers with a mortar and pestle. You want the the peppercorns to be crushed, not turned into a powder form! Grinding less than a minute should be enough.
  • Next, peel and cut the onion, garlic and ginger into slices. Wash and cut the chilies into larger slices.
  • Combine the szechuan pepper, chili pepper, onion, garlic and ginger in a wide pan and add the oil and five spice powder. Cook over slow heat until the onion and garlic start browning. The oil should be lightly bubbling but make sure the onion and garlic don't get burnt otherwise the sauce will be bitter.
  • Add the soya sauce and sesame oil
  • Cook for about 12-15 minutes until all the ingredients have browned enough. Remove from the heat.
  • Place all the cooked ingredients in a food processor with a pinch of sea salt. Mix for 1-2 minutes. Keep the chili oil chunky while blitzing to get a crunchy texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning if needed with salt or soy sauce and serve with your favourite dish

Notes

how to store chili oil
Store the oil in a sterilised, airtight container, a clip jar works best. Store in a cool place away from light.
how long you can keep chili oil
Stored correctly, chili oil will last for up to 3 months. Keep in mind chili oil gets better with time, hence making a large batch is not a bad idea.
