I have been making my own Homemade Chili Oil for years now because I was never able to find a store-bought one that was spicy, numb, garlic, or flavourful enough!

It contains no MSG but has more flavor than another store-bought chili oil. I restock my chili oil every 2-3 months and I always have jars in my fridge ready to go.

It lasts in the fridge up to 3 MONTHS and I use it on everything, noodles, wontons, dumplings, eggs, radish cakes, homemade buns, literally EVERYTHING.

if this is your first time making chili oil and having Sichuan peppercorn, cut the amount in half as the numbing can be overwhelming.
