Chili oil is a popular condiment for good reason. Its savory, aromatic, hot, and complex allure has us spooning it over plates of hummus, bowls of ramen, steamed dumplings, and our morning eggs. It’s also just fun to make, wildly customizable, and simple to prepare.

Chili oil is a condiment made from cooking oil, spices, and chile peppers. It is commonly made with dried, crushed Chinese chiles and Sichuan Peppercorns. Chili oil is especially popular in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine, but variations can be found throughout the world.

The simplest way of making chili oil is by adding hot cooking oil to a bowl of crushed, dried chile peppers. The peppers fry and infuse the hot oil, in turn making flavorful oil that can be used in the kitchen and at the table. You can also flavor the hot oil first by simmering it with spices and aromatics. These spices are then strained out before the hot oil is introduced to the dried chiles.
