- Put the hot oil in the bowl. Mix and store in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Gochugaru - is a korean chili. Very mild smoky flavor. Not spicy at all. Traditionally used to make kimchi.
Red chili pepper - use as much or as little as you want. This is the spicy component of your chili oil
Maple syrup - use whatever sweetener you like. The sweetness is to balance out all the flavors. White sugar, brown sugar, honey. Whatever you have on hand.
Soy sauce - tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos works great as well.
