How to make chili oil with dried chili peppers

1. When making chili oil with dried chili peppers, you must choose good quality dried red chili peppers. Only those red peppers that mature naturally, turn red when collected and have a high content of red pigment are suitable for making chili oil. Prepare 500 grams of dried chili and 100 grams of white sesame seeds.

2. When making chili oil with dried chilies, it is best to use rapeseed oil, so that the chili oil will have an attractive aroma. 1250 grams of rapeseed oil is enough, and you should also prepare appropriate amounts of star anise, pepper, bay leaves, cardamom and other spices.

3. Wash the prepared dried chilies and remove the moisture. After drying, remove the stems, put them in a food processor and beat them into chili powder and set aside.

4. Prepare an oil-free and water-free frying pan, put the processed chili powder, white sesame seeds, star anise, peppercorns, and other spices into the pan, and stir-fry slowly over low heat until the color of the chili powder changes from dark red to light red and you can smell the rich chili aroma, then you can turn off the heat.

5. After frying the chili powder, take it out and put it in a large water-free ceramic bowl. Take out the spices inside, dig a hole in the middle of the chili powder and put all the spices in.

6. After heating the wok, pour the prepared rapeseed oil into the wok and heat it. Turn off the heat after the rapeseed oil starts to smoke and is cooked. After three minutes, pour the hot oil directly into the bowl to allow the hot oil to fully contact the spices in the middle. Pour in the rapeseed and mix well. The amount of oil will be much more than the chili powder. The grease on it is the chili oil.
