Ingredients

2 tsp Sesame Oil
12 cloves Garlic peeled and sliced thin
1 Shallot minced
2 tsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Red Pepper Flakes coarsley ground
3 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 cup Canola Oil or vegetable

Instructions

Slice the shallot as thin as possible and mince the garlic.
Sauté the garlic and shallot in the sesame oil on low heat until lightly golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Add in the soy sauce.
To the pan, add the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In another small pan, lightly heat the oil on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. If the oil gets too hot, it will burn the garlic and oil and turn it bitter so watch it carefully.
Cautiously pour the hot oil over the garlic chili mixture so it lightly sizzles until the mixture is fully covered in the oil. Let cool on the stove.
Transfer the garlic chili oil mixture into a jar and store in the fridge until ready to use as desired.

Notes

The heat of the chili oil can be adjusted by the type and amount of chili flakes used. For a milder oil, use fewer chili flakes or choose milder chili varieties.
