    Another tip to avoid burning is to coat the dry chili mix with just a touch of raw oil to add a slight buffer when adding in the hot oil!

  • @TheCatWitch63
    @TheCatWitch63 Рік тому +236

    There’s a Mexican equivalent to the chili oil. It’s called Salsa Macha. It’s almost identical, but you use Chile de Árbol instead, and lots of it, because the chile is what’s important in this case, not the oil. You also can use seeds like sesame or “pepitas” (pumpkin seeds) and/or crushed peanuts to amp up the flavor.
    Addition: try the salsa Macha on fried eggs with runny yolks. It’s just plain delicious.

    Salt does not dissolve into oil. If you want a more consistent seasoning add this step prior to June's great tips.
    Salt your fresh chillies or add super salty brine solution to your dry mix. Spread them out on an a lined oven tray and dehydrate the excess water in a very low oven (well under boiling temps, like around 70C or 160F). This will deposit salt uniformly inside your chilli/ingredients ready to make the oil.
    Disclaimer: Important to dehydrate the wetness created by presalting. Especially if using oil pour method. Get those dry ingredients fully dry again before adding hot oil or it may spit hot oil at you.

      I think you just let out a secret because when I eat the store-bought chili oil when I bite into the chili I can taste the salt but the oil does not have that much salt. I think they use your method and it makes it quite addicting and really want you to gobble up the chili Because that bit of saltiness helps with the heat it’s like a match made in heaven your cooking tip is definitely a gem. Thank you so much.! However, I do think that may be the MSG that they put in there does mix with the oil a little bit because when I’m desperate and I’m down to my last bit of oil, I don’t have to add salt but I definitely don’t get that nice salty crispy flavor that the chili gives me the oil is more dull. Thank you again.

    Love chili oil! Just found your video and love it! I’ve always towed the star anise, cinnamon, and pepper corns before adding the oil. Then straining it all over a jar of chili flakes. I like in north west Texas so usually only have normal red chili flakes. Which has always been fine for me. Recently, I’ve aged onions, garlic, and ginger for the crispy bits and extra flavor. Didn’t even know there was a “chili crisp” until about 6 months ago. 😱 The combinations of flavors and different chilis are so much fun. Toasted sesame seeds is a new one for me that I love! Im personally not a fan of nuts in my food, unless it’s a jar of nuts.
    Wow….getting away from myself. Thank you for a great video and even more ideas. Definitely going to have to try some cumin. Tex Max is what I grew up on and love the flavor, so can’t wait to try powder after it’s cooled and or toasting the seeds and using it whole. Just amazing that something that sounds so simple has has endless variety on what one can do with a recipe.

    This is the first video of yours I saw. Very informative. I'm kind of a heat whimp so I've made my own chili oil just putting room temp sesame oil with whole dry chili's in a jar. But I will probably branch out since these look delicious.

    I had no idea you could make your own chilli oil! I live in Japan now and I've been trying to find the Chinese version, but can't. I made some just now and I think my husband will be really happy. Thanks!!!!
