Submit dish name: Chili oil

Required ingredients: chili powder, peanuts, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, cumin, garlic, ginger, shallots, pepper, edible Oil, white wine

Specific methods:

1. First prepare a large bowl, then add 200 grams of chili noodles into the large bowl, and then add 10 grams of salt. When making chili oil, you can add more salt to it, which can enhance the flavor of the chili oil and effectively increase the storage time of the chili oil.

In addition to adding salt, we also need to add a small spoonful of sugar to the chili noodles to increase the flavor of the chili oil. Then add a little pepper and use chopsticks to stir these ingredients evenly and set aside.

2. To the prepared chili noodles, we need to add a small amount of water. Do not add too much water, just wet the chili noodles. Then prepare the iron pot. After the pot is dry, add a small handful of peanuts to the pot. When the peanuts are fragrant and there is a crackling sound, turn off the heat and let the peanuts cool down for later use.

Then we need to prepare some green onions, cut the green onion into sections and set aside. Then prepare a little shredded ginger and some garlic, cut into garlic slices and set aside. The last ingredients to prepare are a piece of cinnamon bark, two star anise, a few bay leaves, 30 peppercorns, and a small spoonful of cumin for later use.

3. After the peanuts are cooled, we have to mash the peanuts into crushed peanuts and add them to the chili noodles, then add 30 grams of white sesame seeds, stir evenly and set aside. .

Then heat up another pot and add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot. It is best to use non-GMO oil. Whether you use corn oil, rapeseed oil, or peanut oil, non-GMO oil tastes healthier. After the oil in the pot is heated to 50% heat, we need to put the prepared ginger, onions, and garlic into the pot and fry over low heat for 5 minutes.

4. When the ginger and onions are fried to a semi-dry state, we need to put the prepared spices into the pot and continue to fry them slowly over low heat to completely force out their fragrance. When all the spices are fried until they turn slightly yellow, we will remove the fried spices from the pot and leave only the hot oil for later use.

Finally, we need to heat the oil in the pot to about 80% heat, and then slowly add the hot oil to the chili bowl in three batches to stimulate the aroma of the chili. Stir while stirring. Adding the hot oil in three batches can prevent the chili oil from burning.

Summary:

The above is the correct way to make chili oil. After making the chili oil, we also need to add a little high-alcohol white wine and some pepper to it and stir evenly. It can increase the flavor of chili oil and keep the chili oil longer.

The chili oil produced in this way can be made into a large bowl at a time and can last for a month or two. It is the best choice for mixing vegetables, rice, noodles, and dipping sauces. You will learn how to use it. Already?
