chili oil
Fiery red drizzle
Chili oil is vegetable oil infused with hot peppers, used as a condiment or cooking ingredient in Asian cuisines.
The oil carries the heat and flavor of the peppers, adding spice to dishes: drizzle some chili oil on the dumplings.
Versions range from mild to intensely hot, and may include garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, or crispy bits of pepper sediment.
