Chilli Oil
This recipe is used to make chilli oil, an extremely useful and tasty condiment.
Ingredients
- 50 grams chile flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup peanut oil
Steps
- Mix chile flakes and salt in a heat-proof bowl.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of the oil into the chile flake/salt mixture. This will prevent the chile from scorching when hot oil is added later.

- Pour heated oil over chilli flake mixture and stir vigorously.
- Allow to cool and store in a container.
