A flavorful and versatile chili oil to elevate your dishes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
Ensure the oil is warm enough to release flavors but not too hot to burn the spices.
In a heat-resistant bowl, combine the chili flakes, smoked paprika, sesame seeds, and salt.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Carefully pour the warm oil over the spice mix, stirring gently to combine.
Pour the oil slowly to avoid splashing and ensure all spices are covered.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then stir in the sesame oil.
Adding sesame oil after cooling preserves its delicate flavor.
Strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight jar, discarding the solids.
Use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a clear oil without residue.
Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy as a condiment or cooking ingredient.
