Chilli Oil

Chilli oil can transform a meal, taking it from bland to deliciously spicy in one pour. It goes great with things like pastas, risottos, stir fries, seafood, and dozens of other meals. While it’s sold in most grocery stores, it's also simple to make at home. If you have red chilli pepper flakes and olive oil, you’ve already got everything you need. Spend a couple of minutes creating this easy yet game-changing recipe, and your stir-fries and sautées will never be the same.

Standard Ingredients:

• 1 cup (236.59 mL) vegetable, peanut, or olive oil
• 2 teaspoons (9.86 mL) chilli flakes
• 2 to 3 whole dried chillies

Select your oil. Before deciding which oil to use for this recipe, you should determine that you’ll be using the chilli oil for. If you’re going to be cooking with it, it’s great to use more neutral oils like vegetable or peanut oils. However, if you’re going to be using it as a topper for dishes, you might want to select something a bit more flavorful. In this case, a great olive oil or sesame oil can add an interesting flavor.^[3]
