Ingredients:
- 2 ounce dried red chili (50 g, I used Szechuan chili but you can use whichever you want.)
- 3 cups boiling hot water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Transfer the dried red chilies to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour boiling hot water over the chilies and let them soak for 25-30 minutes.
- Drain the water and add the soaked chilies to a blender along with ¼ cup water.
- Blend until smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chili paste to the pan and saute for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let it cool completely. Transfer it to a clean jar with a tight lid and refrigerate for up to 15 days. Use as desired!
