Ingredients

Scale
  1. 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped – adds a robust, savory flavor.
  2. 1/4 cup chili flakes – provides a spicy kick and vibrant color.
  3. 1 cup neutral oil – a base for carrying flavors (e.g., vegetable or canola oil).

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chili flakes and finely chopped garlic.
  • Heat the Oil: Pour the neutral oil into a small pot and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches smoking point.
    • Tip: Test readiness by inserting a wooden chopstick into the oil. If bubbles form around it, the oil is hot enough.

  • Store: Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a sterilized jar and store it in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor.
