Ultimate 5-minute chili oil
This is the ultimate and easiest 5-minute chili oil that you can quickly make. It’s definitely a delicious serving partner for fried rice, noodles, dumplings or toast!
❇️Ingredients⤵️
🔷2 tablespoons dried minced shallots
🔷1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
🔷½ cup gochugaru Korean chili flakes
🔷½ cup dried chili flakes
🔷1 tablespoon granulated sugar
🔷½ teaspoon salt
🔷3 tablespoons light soy sauce
🔷1½ cup of cooking oil
❇️Instructions⤵️
🔷Place the dried ingredients in a large heat-proof bowl in this order – garlic, shallot, 2 types of chili flakes. Then, add sugar, salt, and soy sauce.
🔷Meanwhile, place the oil in a tall small saucepan and heat to 360°F – 370°F (182°C -187°C).
🔷Carefully pour to the chili ingredients. Hot oil will scald.
🔷Using a long spatula or a pair of chopsticks, stir the ingredients with hot oil until dry chili flakes can be seen.
🔷Once cooled, the chili flakes will settle at the bottom and you’ll get a layer of oil at the top. 🔷Store in a jar for future use or serve right away
❇️Notes⤵️
🔷Note that I like more chili flakes than oil. If you prefer more oil, please use 2 cups instead.
🔷Oil – Yes, you can use flavored oil such as adding bay leaf, star anise, or cinnamon stick when heating the oil.
