Darren Robertson’s Crispy Chili Oil

10 prep.

15 cooking

Serves 4

Ingredients

320 ml of neutral oil (I like to use avocado oil or rice bran) Shallot mix: 30g garlic 30g ginger 70g green shallot 1 stick cinnamon 2 star anise 1 tsp Szechuan pepper 4 bay leaves Nut mix: 40g Gochugaru chili flakes 5g chili flakes 30g white sesame seeds 30g roasted peanuts 30g macadamia nuts Seasoning: 4 Tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp honey 1 tsp dark sesame oil

10 prep.

15 cooking

Serves 4

Method

  • Thinly slice garlic and shallot; cut ginger into thin strips.
  • Heat oil in a medium frypan over low heat.
  • Fry the garlic, shallot, and ginger with the remaining "shallot mix" ingredients.
  • Cook gently for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy, ensuring it doesn’t burn to avoid bitterness.
  • Strain the oil, then use it to fry the nut mix for 3-4 minutes until the sesame seeds turn slightly golden.
  • Combine the oil, fried garlic, and nut mix; season with honey and soy sauce.
  • Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge for up to a month (or enjoy sooner!).
