Homemade Chili Crisp Oil

Chili crisp oil is a condiment consisting of oil infused with peppers and other flavourful, often crispy, crunchy ingredients. Can’t really tell when I started to like this Chinese condiment… hmm maybe after watching a lot of Marion’s Kitchen food channel la kot. The recipe below is the quick and easy version for people yang not so rajin like me but nak makan jugak this condiment with macam2 dish hehehe. Most people will dry blend the dried red chili to make chili flakes but I just beli the chili flakes from Mydin. My fried shallots and garlic, I bought them from my favourite stall kat pasar pagi USJ. You can make your own fried garlic and shallot kalau you rajin.. as for me, I choose the short cut version hehehe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 50g red chili flakes 
  • ¼ cup fried shallots 
  • 3 tbsp fried garlic
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger 
  • 1 tbsp sugar 
  • 1 tbsp sea salt 
  • 1 tbsp anchovies stock powders
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely sliced 
  • 2 cups vegetable oil 

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Place the red chili flakes into a large heat-proof bowl. Add the fried shallots, fried garlic, ginger, sugar, salt and stock powder. Set aside for later. 

STEP 2

In a small saucepan, place the garlic and the oil. Place over a medium heat and allow the oil to heat up and start sizzling. Gently continue cooking the garlic for another 2-3 minutes or until the garlic is just golden. Turn the heat off and allow the oil to cool for 2-3 minutes. Then carefully pour the warm oil over the chilli mixture. Mix until well combined. 

STEP 3

Transfer the chilli oil mixture into jars. It’s best served a day after making. The flavour and colour will develop as it sits for longer. Chili oil can be stored at room temperature in a sealed jar for a few weeks, or up to six months in the refrigerator.
