To make chili red oil, the most fragrant spices are star anise, cinnamon, pepper, and cooked sesame.

Ingredients preparation: 50g dried red pepper, 3g Sichuan peppercorns, 5 star anise, 3 slices cinnamon, 10g cooked white sesame seeds.

The steps for making red oil are as follows:

1. Pour dry red pepper and Sichuan peppercorns into an oil-free cold pan, stir-fry slowly over low heat for about 1 minute and turn off the heat.

2. After cooling, take 1/3 and grind it into chili powder with a grinder.

3. Grind the other 2/3 into chili powder.

4. Mix the chili powder and chili powder, add a teaspoon of salt and sugar, stir evenly, and then sprinkle with a layer of white sesame seeds.

5. Heat oil in a cold pan, add star anise and cinnamon, and boil the oil over medium heat.

6. When the ginger slices are fried until they are dry and brown, take out all the spices, continue to heat the oil until white smoke rises, and turn off the heat.

7. After the hot oil cools down for about 10 seconds, slowly pour it into the chili noodles.
