Ingredients

• 50 grams chile flakes
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup peanut oil

Instructions

1. Mix chile flakes and salt in a heat-proof bowl.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of the oil into the chile flake/salt mixture. This will prevent the chile from scorching when hot oil is added later.
3. Heat peanut oil to about 200°C (392°F). Small bubbles should form when poking a wooden chopstick into the oil.
4. Pour heated oil over chilli flake mixture and stir vigorously.
5. Allow to cool and store in a container.
