Chili-Orange Oil

This infused oil is something I made originally for Spicy Orange-Garlic Braised Short Ribs, but it's useful for other things: Asian-inspired salad dressings, a condiment for white rice (along with a splash of soy sauce), stir fries, etc.

I store it in the fridge.

  • 3/4 c vegetable oil
  • 1/4 c sesame oil
  • 10 dried red chilis, halved lengthwise
  • zest of two oranges
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

Heat vegetable and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until very hot. Dump in chilis, orange zest and garlic (being careful about it boiling over), remove from heat and stir. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

Strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer into a small container. Discard solids.
