Homemade chili oil lets you steer the flavor, more garlic, more crunch, more numbing Sichuan punch, without mystery additives. Ready to level up your kitchen game? Let's make some spicy magic happen. What makes chili oil so special and mouth-watering? Chili oil is a beloved condiment across countries, especially in Chinese cuisine, where it's used for dipping, drizzling, or cooking into dishes to add bold spice and warmth. From fiery Sichuan-style, restaurant-grade red oil to zippy Italian and Mexican versions, chili oil is valued for its ability to elevate flavor with minimal effort. What sets restaurant-style versions apart is their depth: a bright red, fragrant blend of chili heat, subtle aromatics, and, sometimes, a numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Typically, it's as simple as pouring heated neutral oil (like vegetable, canola, or avocado) over chili flakes and aromatics to release their full flavor. Some versions even include crunchy bits of garlic or spices, creating the popular 'chili crisp' texture. So.. how do you make it at home? Simple ingredients, maximum flavor Here's what you'll need to create that dazzling, restaurant-grade chili oil; no fancy tools necessary! Neutral oil: Neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola, peanut, or avocado oil. These let the spices shine; olive oil is best avoided for its strong flavor. Chili flakes: Crushed chili flakes, ideally Chinese or Sichuan chilies for brighter flavor, but red pepper flakes work in a pinch. Aromatics (optional but amazing): Optional aromatics, such as Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, scallion, star anise, five-spice, bay leaf, cinnamon, sesame seeds, or even shallot, to deepen the complexity. Seasoning extras (optional): Soy sauce, vinegar, salt for depth. Step-by-step guide to make the restaurant-style chili oil Prep your dry mix in a heatproof bowl. chili flakes + any dry spices or aromatics you like. Heat the oil gently: Start medium, then drop to low. Aim for around 200-225 °F (100-110 °C), you'll see small bubbles and a gentle sizzle, not smoking. If it smokes, pull back the heat. Test with a wooden chopstick or spoon: When bubbles form around it, your oil is ready. Pour the hot oil carefully over your chili mix in the bowl. You should hear a satisfying sizzle and smell a toasty, 'not burnt' aroma, think popcorn, not burnt toast. Stir it well to blend flavors. Let it sit and cool before storing. Pro tips for restaurant-caliber results Want to give it a tasty twist? Infuse aromatics first. As chefs at The Woks of Life explain, begin by infusing oil with spices like star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, or Sichuan peppercorns for deeper flavor layers. Watch your oil temperature. Don't rush; too hot oil burns spices and tastes bitter. Test with a few flakes or use a thermometer if available. Customize. Customize. Customize! Toss in garlic powder, five-spice, onion powder, or even vinegar for your own spin. Boost color and aroma. Use Korean gochugaru or Sichuan peppercorns for sweeter, fruitier tones and a numbing quality. Layer your pour. Some cooks tip in half the oil, wait for it to cool slightly, then add the rest; this avoids burning while giving more depth. Add a splash of soy sauce, vinegar, or even black vinegar. These are all optional, but they add tang and umami. Store smart. Let your chili oil cool completely, then seal in a clean, airtight jar. Refrigeration can help it last for months; just use a clean spoon each time to avoid spoilage. And there it is! Your restaurant-worthy home-made chili oil is ready to pour! Drizzle over dumplings, noodles, fried rice, eggs, salads, and even sweet foods for a surprising kick! Watch: How to make Choco Pie
