    I grow 25 varieties of Mexican and Asian chilies in my garden every year. I pickle them, make salsa out of them, and I also dehydrate them to make exotic chili powders. I just started making chili oil out of them. Thank you so much for the video because this is showing me how to truly get the best flavor out of my peppers. I've tried it now with a variety of dried chilies and they're all good with their own character. Now they're going to be great. Thanks again

    So gathering up all those ingredients at the Asian Store and buying mason jars, strainer plus 2 hrs of cooking time is easy cheesy? I will just pickup a bottle of hot chili oil and frozen pot stickers at the Asian store. I am just too busy working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week to spend time puttering around the kitchen.

    Nope. Look at chef Lau, this isn't very good nor is it even close to what to chili oil is supposed to be. I was and am still very disappointed in this recipe. 3 thumbs down Josh 👎 👍 👌

    Can you just like make regular chili oil? I know chili oil is mainly seen in Asian cooking but you don't have to stick to societal norms. I just want to make plain chili oil so I can put it on everything from Italian to Asian an American dishes. Do I just get boiling oil and pour it over Szechuan pepper flakes and regular chili flakes?

    Just made this, and must say; at the end of infusion it doesn't smell great. I did remove the garlic so it wouldn't get burnt. But the end product is amazing, just the right amount of spicy and amazing flavors.

    Taste-wise I think this recipe is ok. I would say most Asians probably prefer a higher chili-to-oil ratio, and the spice is really not hot enough. I'll have to try half the oil and double the spice.

    Our restaurant, Uncle Yip's, makes our own spicy chili oil but more in a Guangdong style that goes extremely well with our dim sum. I make my own hot sauce but let the professionals make the spicy chili oil. Good video.
