+Strictly Dumpling just a tip from an old Italian cook: always turn the handle of your pan on the stove around so that it does not "hang off" the edge of the stove. you won't accidentally bump it and knock it off the stove.
Hey Mike! I recently made this for my husband with some tweaks, and he absolutely loved it. I am an all things Asian fanatic. And have turned him onto a couple of things. I made this with the Chinese peppercorn, a veg/peanut oil mix, ground chili powder, and a five star spice powder. It turned out really well. Keep doing what you do. Much love!
mexicans have essentially the same thing but we use the whole dry chile de arbol a couple of them, lightly fry them let the oil cool, place the oil in a blender along with the chiles a small piece of garlic and a pinch of salt and blend.
Nihilistic Moron holy crap I think I had some of that from a taco truck and it destroyed me lol. I knew it would be spicy but not THAT spicy. They also had a creamy looking version like they mixed in some crema or something.
For your first cooking video gotta say it's one of the better cooking videos. Well explained, easy to follow, and great attention to details the viewer appreciates
I made this earlier! :) I put some fresh garlic in mine to infuse it into the oil and removed the cloves once it got to room temp. its SOOOOO good! I had it with fragrant jasmine rice. Amazing, amazing flavor! Thank you for making this video!
Love, love, love this! One tip, though: nstead of scooping the Sichuan peppers out of the oil, just pour the oil through a strainer into the chili, salt and peanut mix.
You've got a really great energy to your videos whist being entertaining! I love watching your beyond sciences videos and now i can't wait to start learning your cuisine! I'm going to try this out, i have a good amount of chili's that have been drying out in my cupboard for years
You may not put hot oil on ice cream, but Brigadier General McIlhenny (head of the company that made Tabasco) put Tabasco on his ice cream when he visited Marine Military Academy and ate lunch with us in the Cadet Mess, back in the late 70's. Give your oil a try!
+AsianInGlasses I think you'll have a hard time convincing people that Tabasco isn't spicy :) It certainly isn't super-hot at all, but it is legendary for being spicy, at least in America, which may make both of our points very well :) I make my own Szechuan hot numbing oil, and it's wonderful stuff. I only warm the groundnut oil to the point where it will encourage the Szechaun peppercorns to release the sanshool and let it steep for two hours. Then I mix in pulverized ripe Thai chili peppers as the backing heat, and then age it at room temperature for about a month because the peanut oil won't go rancid during that time, then in the refrigerator it goes until needed. Marvelous stuff, and it transforms the sensations of the other flavors in the dish. Very numbing, good heat. It does make me cry, but they are tears of utter culinary joy.
I tried it with some substitutions, and it's darned good. I used crushed red pepper whirred up in a blender and soaked it in melted coconut oil, with Himalayan Sea Salt. I didn't have Szechuan peppercorns and didn't think high heat would be necessary. It probably isn't as instantly fragrant, but it is perfect in stir-fries and cooking where I would add sesame oil at the end. I'm going to order the right ingredients and try it according to the exact recipe posted. Hurry up, Amazon!
Apparently anywhere from several weeks to months to up to a year. I read an article somewhere that said oils with vegetables in them should be refrigerated.
Hi Mikey, my brother's name was Michael. Thanks for being in my life. I feel like we're friends. I really, really appreciate you loading the video & sharing Recipe for Hot Oil
Mikey , I came back to this video again after around 3 years maybe. This was the very first video of you that I watched and I am still currently and consistently hooked to all your food vlogs 🥰
I make it with just oil, salt, chillies, and minced garlic…. That way I can put it on pasta, steak, soup, western foods, and Asian foods too… Awesome stuff.
Hi there Mike, I am a hot chili oil addict too; I love spicy food. In my country Ghana, we have several hot chili oil based condiments, which we eat with many of our dishes. Some of our hot chili oils are made with pepper flakes, ginger, smoked prawns, onions or shallots and dried or smoked anchovies...All the ingredients are pounded in a wooden mortar and fried in the oil ...I am very sure you will like those sauces because the Chinese investors and Expatriates in my country, love them.
Clas Vintage Oh yes...The Chinese are our spicy food eating partners... Spicy food is gradually introduced at a young age in the Ghanaian culture. By the time a child celebrates their 10th birthday, they are already on their way to become spicy food champs. Some kids even question their parents when family meals are not spicy. I remember both my grandmothers surprising my siblings and I with morsels of spicy treats from the kitchen during playtime in our yard... They would walk over and pop a spicy savory treat into our mouths while we run and play. My maternal grandma would swear that it keeps us closer to the blessings of the Ancestors... Ghanaian kids also learn how to pick and spit out fish bones and fruit seeds, right out of their mouths, whilst training to handle spicy food... Pleased to meet you #SpicyFoodFellow lol.
Class Vintage :) i think she was talking about living long. My granny explained that, spicy food is a source great health and prolonged life. She and her sisters all lived to be over a hundred years old. She actually died at the age of 103 and her baby sister who actually baby sat my mother, lived to be 110 on simple spicy African diet...I hope to live long too lol...
i made this 8 years ago - still the best - just chilli flakes and oil. It is so good I put it in everything I eat. Now I want to try it with ghee and then with butter instead of oil. Thanks Mike!!!
I've been looking 4 another Yan can cook dude, signature "look at dis humm"! You add humm to everything. Thanx for posting all of your content. I appreciate it.
Heat up oil with peanuts. The moment first smal bubbles appear, remove from fire. Keep pepper in oil. Mix all and leave for few days.All will settle on bottom of oil, Than strain. You have pure lovely oil.
Never overheat virgin olive oil. Granted, the other kind may not be easy to find where you live. But, this whole don't overheat olive oil thing only applies to the higher quality virgin ones. I want to say "you can overheat regular olive oil" but the regular olive oil is virgin in most of the world. But of course you don't want any of those tastes in a Chinese chili oil.
Nickolas Lim, I don’t know what overheating means exactly, but I do use extra virgin olive oil all the time for cooking, stir frying, shallow frying, etc etc. It is still better than using ultra heat treated cooking oils available in the market.
Wow never knew it would start cooking inn in the container. I'm definitely going to try this.... Never knew it was so easy to make.... Thank you for sharing 👍
I finally got around to making this.... omg yum! Better than any store bought hot sauce/oil ever! I think my oil was a bit hot because it toasted it almost too much... but its so good! So easy and cheap to make too!

Straight amazing that I just did this recipe this evening!! Thanks for the advise with the peanuts and cooling the oil down before adding a splash of sesame seed oil at the end! I did add about a tablespoon of Kimchi pepper powder since it was laying around inside my pantry!
I LOVEEE Chinese hot oil oooh so so much!! I got to try this recipe.. I love peanuts 😍😍 But I also love olives and olive oil and so I'll try it with light or pure olive oil.. 🤔 Thank you for this.. 👍🏾 You've added to my life with this one.. 🤗
If you like more tingly-numb sensation from the szechuan peppercorns- which I do and I don't really like the red pepper seeds, either-let them steep with the red peppers and then strain the whole batch. Scallion is also really good to steep and remove from the hot oil, too.
Thanks for the video! The first time I had chili oil in a Chinese take out, it was SOOOOOo good that I kept asking for it after. But it never tasted as good as the first time. I tried buying them at Chinese groceries stores, but now I know why that first one was so good. Whoever made it by hand, cooked it well... Now I have the secret of Chinese chili oil...
Stumbled over this video. Wasnt my intention. SUBSCRIBED IMMEDIATELY after watching. In Chinese restaurants this hot chilli oil is acid. I had already bought the crushed chilli to sprinkle in my omelettes. Now I can make FRESH HOMEMADE Hot Chilli Oil. Thanks for sharing caring and making me smile. A big cuddly hug from France. ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Normal store-bought salt includes iodine as well because historically people would develop thyroid disorders (they still do in third world countries without access to iodine-infused salt) and the disorder would be a goiter which is when there is a huge lump on your neck. People figured that adding more iodine to salt would be an easy way to make sure people get enough iodine into their regular diets. Sea salt still has some iodine but considerably less so there's not really a health benefit to using it. TLDR: iodine-treated salt is not dangerous and is vital for health
FYI the three most commonly used salts i.e. table salt, kosher salt and sea salt, all have their own individual uses and applications. The fine grain of table salt is ideal for adding to bread dough for even distribution, the large grains of kosher salt are idea for forming crusts when searing meat, and sea salt is best used for finishing a dish by sprinkling on top. Its almost 100% sodium chloride anyway, and if its not from the sea its mined from the ground, so it's all natural anyway, aside from some anti caking agents and iodine as someone else mentioned
i LUV hot oil! its so good for you and yummy. i put it on everything too! and sxechuan pepper is so good too esp in mao pa dofu! ive never tried peanuts... but now... dont store in metal or it will eat it!
just stumbled over your link...Hot oil is awesome just made first batch.....used Chinese 5 spice...sesame oil in a couple minutes...eat it off spoon...I make the best Gweilo kimchi...👍☺
So I went for this one (not the 2.0 on purpose). Just wanted a simple chili oil for my first batch ever. I definitely didn't have my oil hot enough. There wasn't any bubbling, or snap, crackle and pop. I lost some oil in the process, and now several days later, my chilis are sitting on the bottom of this liquid hot lava. Had a simple cucumber salad with a little salt, sugar, and the hot oil and it was the most spicy thing I have ever ate. Clearly I need to go for take 2!
There I was watching some strictly dumpling vids and thought to myself 'hey that hot oil looks good, I wonder how to make it'. Searched RUclips and Bam! Mike made his on vid on it 🔥
Whenever I cook (not too often because I'm 14), I always add several handfuls of Sichuan peppercorn to dishes. Things just don't taste as good without spice.
Great! I've always wanted to know how to make this. I'd love to see a video on how to make my own Chinese red pepper hot sauces, as store-bought ones have preservatives I can't eat. One note: When the video says not to use sesame oil because it can't heat up well, that is true for dark sesame oil. The light sesame oil in health food stores is an excellent oil for hot frying and, like coconut oil, could be used as a base for Chinese hot oil.
i made this for the first time so very2 tasty..it goes with many types of food.everyone in my offc asked for the recipe..i did a simple one with chilli garlic,lemon juice and salt..
+George Maniatis Not totally sure, but they look boiled/steamed to me. A lot of Chinese people (my family included) boil peanuts and eat them that way.
+Sunny Chi Actually It's raw to begin with. I know what you mean when you said your family boiled them. They are most likely to have cooked the peanuts in their actual shell and eat them like snacks; my family does the same.
Well, I live in Marseille, and for us olive oil is a seasoning oil just like the sesame one. We make hot oil with crushed pepper in _cold_ olive oil. I want to try this recipe, but with a cooking oil like the sunflower's one or colza for example. Edit : Finally, I try this recipe with peanuts oil. I add badiane ( star anise ) and cinnamon.
Hey I made my own hot oil based on your recipe but with a twist I used roasted crushed peanut...and as I am an Indian I tried it with a very traditional dish called khichdi (made with rice and lentils cooked together and then fried)...it was delicious loved the kick that came out of hot oil... please can you make some more vegetarian dishes...love from India
In Turkey we make this in the pan, heating up the oil with red pepper together and we usually add it on garlic yogurt for some fry dishes or meaty pastas. But I'll try your way next time, it looks interesting!
We have lots of coconut, cashews and cocoa here in the Philippines. Tried the combo before and it is awesome! I will try using chili instead of cocoa nips and will let you know how it went ☺
Coming back 4 years later, ever since i watched this, the dinners and meals i have made for friends and family have been so much better because of this!
I would toast the peppercorns a little bit before adding the oil, and would not use olive oil because of its low smoke point. Besides that - this recipe is awesome
Hi Mikey! I tried your method toady, it really works, looks, tastes and smells amazing! Thank you for posting this clip. In addition to peanuts I added sesame seeds and two pieces of star anise. I forgot to add the sea salt from the beginning but I don't think that's going to be a problem. The oil was still hot when I remembered and added it.
Thank YOU so much for this GREAT video... you just saved my business... I manufacture Gold Rush Liniment... For Arthritis, Sore Muscles and Joint Pain... Now going on 35 years! and I make my own version of Tiger Balm... and my store has been out of Hot Chili Oil... Thank you so much for saving my business... God Bless YOU!
+CutoDracon You could..after it's cooked take a raw garlic clove(s) peel, dry it and poke a few holes in with a toothpick...push it deep inside your oil..shake it daily or stir..that will infuse the garlic flavor you're looking for...
There is another recipe which includes onion and garlic. The recipe called for both to be added to the oil while its heating up to a med-low temp. Once the onion and garlic stops bubbling, add to the chili. Sichuan peppercorns were ground up and added in that recipe, but it was pretty damn spicy that way.
+CutoDracon You should be careful storing garlic in oil, because if it isn't kept/prepared properly it can grow botulism spores, which can be detrimental to your health. I'm don't know the details about this so worth looking it up.
what type of peanuts ,,,,,,,raw just shelled or salted or ?????????? i m making this ............ it sounds amazing and i think my family will love it ........ i have been getting all the ingredients that you have suggested in your sauces video i have most of them now and i cant wait to use them all
+Strictly Dumpling just a tip from an old Italian cook: always turn the handle of your pan on the stove around so that it does not "hang off" the edge of the stove. you won't accidentally bump it and knock it off the stove.
good point when working with hot oil, thanks for sharing it is better to safe than sorry
Yes, as an Italian descendent, I fully support that statement. No handles towards the belly, or you can get a face of oil.

Not spicing up your ice cream with Hot Oil...
I mean, Ice cream by itself is cold, need something hot to balance it.
XD HAHA
u can always find hot chili spicy ice cream in mexican supermarket in US.
A dash of this in Hot Cocoa with some cinnamon would be amazing.
Guju
Try adding lava
How long does it last before it gets rancid? Also, am I right to assume you don't store it in the fridge?
Just keep it sealed and I’d say your good, when in doubt, just do a smell test, trust your nose.
store in a mason jar that should help.
Lamo u got help like 2 years later

It would be ok to use 3rd/4th pressing olive oil, but tbh for Chinese recipes you want to use groundnut, vegetable, canola or sunflower oil.

He's likely talking about the process of refining salt.

Would literally not be vital for health if one did not live in a third world country.

Great! I've always wanted to know how to make this. I'd love to see a video on how to make my own Chinese red pepper hot sauces, as store-bought ones have preservatives I can't eat. One note: When the video says not to use sesame oil because it can't heat up well, that is true for dark sesame oil. The light sesame oil in health food stores is an excellent oil for hot frying and, like coconut oil, could be used as a base for Chinese hot oil.
i made this for the first time so very2 tasty..it goes with many types of food.everyone in my offc asked for the recipe..i did a simple one with chilli garlic,lemon juice and salt..
Its so,freaking good i tried it about 2 hours ago
Adriana Amaya nice!!!
Cool and thankyou.
Question about the peanuts. Are they roasted or raw to begin with?
+George Maniatis Not totally sure, but they look boiled/steamed to me. A lot of Chinese people (my family included) boil peanuts and eat them that way.
+Sunny Chi Actually It's raw to begin with.
I know what you mean when you said your family boiled them. They are most likely to have cooked the peanuts in their actual shell and eat them like snacks; my family does the same.
+George Maniatis they are raw but when you pour the hot oil over it they roast. I made it last week it tastes really good.
Worth noting you can't use olive oil either really, since it also has low smoke point.
Shalimar Lake Could I add olive oil after it's cooked?
yes you can olive oil won't smoke until high heat
Well, I live in Marseille, and for us olive oil is a seasoning oil just like the sesame one. We make hot oil with crushed pepper in _cold_ olive oil. I want to try this recipe, but with a cooking oil like the sunflower's one or colza for example.
Edit : Finally, I try this recipe with peanuts oil. I add badiane ( star anise ) and cinnamon.
Hey I made my own hot oil based on your recipe but with a twist I used roasted crushed peanut...and as I am an Indian I tried it with a very traditional dish called khichdi (made with rice and lentils cooked together and then fried)...it was delicious loved the kick that came out of hot oil... please can you make some more vegetarian dishes...love from India
In Turkey we make this in the pan, heating up the oil with red pepper together and we usually add it on garlic yogurt for some fry dishes or meaty pastas. But I'll try your way next time, it looks interesting!
I'm surprised your cup didn't break. good stuff though, I love that sauce!
I feel like hot oil might be good on ice cream too. Just sayin'.
it could be
check out sili icecream in Bicol Region, Philippines ☺
Nel Argete Sounds awesome! If only they made it vegan. =/
We have lots of coconut, cashews and cocoa here in the Philippines. Tried the combo before and it is awesome! I will try using chili instead of cocoa nips and will let you know how it went ☺
+Nel Argete Like ice cream made from coconut instead of milk or what?
Him: Smells so good!
Me: MY NOSE IS ON FIRE!!!
Coming back 4 years later, ever since i watched this, the dinners and meals i have made for friends and family have been so much better because of this!
I would toast the peppercorns a little bit before adding the oil, and would not use olive oil because of its low smoke point. Besides that - this recipe is awesome
that t-shirt...
+George-Oliver Poole lol Thanks :-)
Joey Cage hot
just made this, lovely stuff. keep up the good work mike|
His t-shirts alone make watching worth it!
Hey Mike, Congrats for the MIKE Oil finally launched.
Hi Mikey! I tried your method toady, it really works, looks, tastes and smells amazing! Thank you for posting this clip. In addition to peanuts I added sesame seeds and two pieces of star anise. I forgot to add the sea salt from the beginning but I don't think that's going to be a problem. The oil was still hot when I remembered and added it.
Cannot live without this! Thank you for the recipe
Not a big fan of chili and spice.... but ur kitty cat container won me over....
When my father makes his chilly oil/sauce, the whole house would smell for three days. 😁
Inga Hall awesome!
Hey man,
Loved your stuff since beyond science.. the wife and I have always loved hot oil, but no restaurant comes close to your recipe. Thanks
This is realy good i tried it and its amazing you can even put garlic and a teaspoon of sugar for more flavor
That would probably be good with some garlic to yum! 🌶
Thank you for sharing...must be delicious!
I made your recipe and it totally rocks! Get hotter over time as well.
I just made my first hot oil from watching Mike. I used avocado oil and aleppo pepper. Tastes great. Thanks Mike!

musicksol me too!
how long would this stay good for if kept in the fridge?
+cGarcia2100 months
+Strictly Dumpling is there a sweet oil if so can you make a video
+Strictly Dumpling What else can you add aside from sesame oil? Can you add rice wine, for example?
+DARKGORZ rice wine would just completely separate from the oil, as would almost any liquid (non-oil) ingredient
Jack Eiler Fair enough.
If I wanted to add garlic, would I put the garlic in after the oil has cooled some so that the garlic wouldn't burn?
I think so cuz u dont want the taste of burnt garlic for ur chili oil
+CutoDracon You could..after it's cooked take a raw garlic clove(s) peel, dry it and poke a few holes in with a toothpick...push it deep inside your oil..shake it daily or stir..that will infuse the garlic flavor you're looking for...
LawDog323 Thank you, I will do that. Got an idea on how many days till I should take the garlic out?
There is another recipe which includes onion and garlic. The recipe called for both to be added to the oil while its heating up to a med-low temp. Once the onion and garlic stops bubbling, add to the chili. Sichuan peppercorns were ground up and added in that recipe, but it was pretty damn spicy that way.
+CutoDracon You should be careful storing garlic in oil, because if it isn't kept/prepared properly it can grow botulism spores, which can be detrimental to your health. I'm don't know the details about this so worth looking it up.
