Directions
In a large pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, combine hot red pepper flakes, garlic, scallions, ginger, corn or peanut oil, and sesame oil.
Over medium-low heat, bring to a bubbly 225 to 250 degrees, stirring occasionally.
Simmer 15 minutes, making sure the temperature does not rise above 250 degrees. Let cool.
Scrape the oil and solids into a glass or plastic container and store tightly covered at room temperature.
For Variations:
Add any or all of the ingredients from fermented black beans, orange and sichuan peppercorns before cooking.
