Chili Oil is great on dumplings and all. But there is a massive difference between from scratch homemade chili oil, and store bought. When I say massive, I mean MASSIVE. This stuff is so easy to make and really only takes a few minutes of active time. So if you're not making your own chili oil at home yet, it's time to start. And keep that bad boy stocked up(Heads up I know these spices are a tiny bit pricey, but each of these comes with a lot of spices so you can use them for a multitude of batches as well as lots of other things) Sichuan Chili Flakes: https://shop-links.co/1731276628703388354Black Cardamom: https://shop-links.co/1731276630353607028Sichuan Peppercorns: https://shop-links.co/1731276631095009181Black Vinegar: https://shop-links.co/1731276632092751655Good Grips Stainless Steel 11 lb.
