Chili oil is my most favorite dressing for salad or dumplings. It is very easy to make and is very tasty!
Ingredients:
- Crushed chili (1 ½ cup)
 
- Sesame seeds (3~4 teaspoons)
 
- Sesame oil (2 teaspoons)
 
- Canola oil (1 cup)
 
- Cooking wine (1 teaspoon)
 
- Salt (? teaspoon)
 
Directions:
In a large bowl, sift together the crushed chili, sesame seeds, salt and sesame oil. Then, heat up the canola oil to 200? and put into the bowl. Use a spoon that is not plastic to mix until it is fully mixed. Finally, put the cooking wine and salt.
Tips:
- Make sure the bowl is clean and without any water; otherwise, the hot oil will pop when mixed with water.
 
- After cooking, let the chili oil cool down for 10 minutes before using.
 
- The chili oil is not just for salads or dumplings but also for noodles and fried rice.
 
Pour it on your favorite dish and enjoy!
