Homemade Sichuan Chili Oil

I LOVE this and put it on everything, including eggs and toast in the morning.

It's not spicy, and there's not enough sichuan peppers in there to numb your tongue.  Instead it's a nice dark, umami, warming undertone to whatever you want.  Great with any kind of meat or mushrooms.

I followed the original recipe pretty much exactly:  https://omnivorescookbook.com/how-to-make-chili-oil/

The only note was that at her prescribed temp, I wasn't getting any bubbling at all, but I kept it at that temp since she seemed freaked out about burning the spices.  The results were great!  Makes a lot of oil that lasts 6 months in the refrigerator. 

I'm almost out, but here's mine:
