Notes

  • Make sure the oil is super hot when adding to the spices. If the oil is not hot enough, the spices will not cook in it.
  • Use a heat proof bowl to make the oil. 
  • Using a higher proportion of chili flakes to gochugaru will yield a milder flavor oil.
  • Sichuan peppers can be used in place of gochugaru flakes for a spicy numbing flavor.
