Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 4–6 dried red chili peppers
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over low heat.

- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the chili garlic oil to a glass jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
