"In many places in Asia, Asian chili oil is served with every meal. Many like their food spicy and so a chili oil comes just right. But actually, it should not only be served with Asian dishes, like Dumplings or Wonton soup, because it goes wonderfully with Italian pizzas and pastas, Mexican food, with grilled goods and much more."

ingredients
- 300 g dried red Chili Flakes
- 4 grated cloves Garlic
- 300 natural Oil
- 3 Salt
- 6 slices Ginger
- 1 chopped Onion
- 4 Star Anise
- 3 Bay Leaves
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 5 Cloves
Method
Step 1
I got ready made chili flakes, if you don't have that you can let fresh red chilies dry and then chop them in a blender.
Step 2
Place these in a baking dish or bowl that can handle heat well! Add the salt. Be careful not to inhale when you put the chili flakes in the bowl, because the dust is very hot!
Step 3
Heat the oil in a pot to about 120 C degrees and add all the spices. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes until the oil has absorbed everything. Stir gently from time to time. Then remove the spices.
Step 4
Carefully pour the oil over the chilies and stir with wooden chopsticks. The oil will bubble up a bit at first, so watch your fingers!
Step 5
Allow to cool slightly, then pour into tightly sealed jars.
