Ingredients
0.5 cup chili flakes0.5 large onion, finely minced6 cloves of garlic, finely minced or mashed into a paste1 tsp. salt1 cup peanut oilA non-reactive container - glass worked well for me.
Directions
- Place the chili flakes, minced onion, garlic and half the salt in the jar and mix well (I just screw the lid on and shake it up).

- Heat the peanut oil in a heavy-bottomed pan (a cast iron wok works beautifully) until it just begins to smoke (peanut oil heats up really fast, so watch it carefully)

- Take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a minute or two

- Pour the hot oil into the container with the other ingredients

- Let it cool for an hour or two, and taste for salt, adding more if needed (this depends entirely on your tastebuds!)

- Store, tightly sealed, at room temperature.

Enjoy. This makes about 1.5 cups - and a serving size is a teaspoonful, so you'll get about 72 "servings" from this recipe.
