step 1

Heat Fresh Ginger (1 piece), Bay Leaves (2), Star Anise (3), Chinese Cinnamon Bark (1), white part of Scallion (1 bunch), Sichuan Peppercorns (as needed), Garlic (4 cloves), Cumin Seeds (as needed) in Vegetable Oil (1 cup) over the slowest fire for around 5 minutes.

step 2

Cook until the scallion white becomes slightly brown and you can smell the strong aroma. Filter all the spices out and leave the oil in the pot.

step 3

Place around 5 tablespoons of Red Chili Powder (1/3 cup) in a bowl.

step 4

Re-heat the oil in the pot until slightly smoky and then pour half of the hot oil over the red pepper powder. Rest the left oil for 5 minutes.

step 5

Add another 2 tablespoons of Red Chili Powder (2 Tbsp), Toasted White Sesame Seeds (1 Tbsp), and Sichuan Peppercorns (as needed) in the bowl.

step 6

Pour in the remaining half of the oil again.

step 7

The red oil will turn bright red after 24 hours. Keep the chili oil in air-tight container and this can be kept up to one month in room temperature. Enjoy!
