    Momoya chilli oil is the first ever bottle of chilli oil which I bought. And I think it is one of the best. I am take the bottle in less than a week.

    Ingredients for Chilli Crisp Recipe

    Fresh Ingredients

    I like to use basic fresh ingredients like onions, ginger, scallions and lots and lots of garlic. Since I want my chilli oil to have dominant garlic flavour. You can increase the amount of onion which you add in the chilli oil if you want that flavour to shine.

    Oils to Use

    I like to use a combination of refined oil and toasted sesame oil to get the perfect balance of taste and texture. Refined oil have high smoking point so I can get my garlic crispy to my liking without getting the house all smoky. You can use canola oil, vegetable oil, soybean oil, grape seed oil. 

    Toasted sesame oil is added at the end to preserve its flavour without heating it too much.

    Chilli  Flavourings

    I like to use a combination of hot red pepper flakes and gochugaru my chilli oil. The red pepper flakes add is the spice and gochugaru add the colour. You can skip gochugaru and use paprika or chilli powder instead.

    Umami Ingredients

    Chilli oil gets it taste through the special ingredients which you add it to it which gives the Umami flavour. I like to use mushroom powder or miso powder. But the best tasting chilli oil is achieved by using the good’ol MSG. 

    Seasonings

    Make sure you balance the taste by adding salt, sugar, soya sauce as per your taste buds.

    How to Make Authentic Chilli Oil

    Pre-Preparation

    Take garlic, onion, spring onions, ginger in a food processor and chop it finely. If you don’t have a food processor, use your knife to chop it pretty finely. Set aside in a bowl.

    Cooking the Flavourings

    Take a sauce pan. Add in oil, I used refined oil in this recipe. Add the chopped ingredients in cold oil. Now heat the sauce pan and cook this on very low heat for 10 to 15 mins stirring constantly. You have to cook this mixture on very low heat so the garlic, onion crisp up beautifully without getting burnt. First the mixture will start to foam up because of the water content in onion and garlic, later the ingredients start to get crisp.

    Finishing Chilli oil

    After 10 mins or so you can see the garlic get crispy. Now add in the sesame oil which will bring the heat down and will stop the garlic getting burnt. After adding the oil. Add in chilli flakes, gochugaru, sesame seeds, salt, sugar, soy sauce and mix well. Let this cook on low heat for 2 more minutes. 

    Storing of the Oil

    Take it off the heat and let it cool down completely.  Store it in a clean dry bottle. You can keep the bottle at room temperature for a week. If you want to store longer, keep refrigerated.
