Ingredients
Ginger: a couple slices
Green onion: a couple sprigs
Szechuan peppercorn powder: 1 tsp
Garlic powder: 1 tsp
Onion powder: 1 tsp
Oil: 1 cup
Chili flakes and/or Korean chili powder: 1/3 cup
If you're like me and enjoy the aromatics of chili oil but not the heat, then you can adjust this recipe by adding more Korean chili powder and less chili flakes. This is because the Korean chili powder is much less spicy than the chili flakes.

Chili oil adds an extra depth of flavor to a dish without changing the salt and sugar content. This is why I use chili oil a lot, especially on noodle and dumpling dishes. I think chili oil is something that I can rely on consistently to elevate an average dish into a dish that I crave.
