Chili Oil is great on dumplings and all. But there is a massive difference between from scratch homemade chili oil, and store bought. When I say massive, I mean MASSIVE. This stuff is so easy to make and really only takes a few minutes of active time. So if you’re not making your own chili oil at home yet, it’s time to start. And keep that bad boy stocked up
(Heads up I know these spices are a tiny bit pricey, but each of these comes with a lot of spices so you can use them for a multitude of batches as well as lots of other things)
