Blank Slate Kitchen Sichuan Chili Oil

Fragrant Sichuan chili oil is as common in Chinese restaurants as ketchup is in American diners. Blank Slate's Kitchen small-batch rendition pairs the heat of chili with zesty ginger and aromatic shallots and garlic for an especially bright flavor.

[/banner_heading] Dried Sichuan peppercorns usually require toasting and grinding before use, but this convenient oil makes life far easier. [/banner-text-break]With a moderate heat, punchy Szechuan peppercorn flavor and subtle ginger brightness, a spoonful of the oil can galvanize dishes like blanched greens, sautéed green beans or stir-fried broccoli. Or try it drizzled over pan-fried chicken cutlets or salmon fillets finished with a handful of chopped scallions and cilantro. We even like it over scrambled eggs and fried rice.[/how-to-use-break] Make sure to stir the oil well before use for even dispersement of the potent spices.
