Instructions

1
In a food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Pulse until finely chopped.
2
Transfer the chopped aromatics to a medium-sized, heat-proof bowl.
3
To the bowl, add salt, white pepper, and optional MSG.
4
Add the chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, and red pepper flakes.
5
Stir all the ingredients in the bowl to combine.
6
In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil to 400°F (200°C).
7
Carefully pour the hot oil over the ingredients in the bowl. The mixture will sizzle vigorously. Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
8
Stir the mixture well to ensure everything is incorporated.
9
Once the sizzling has calmed down, stir in the soy sauce and optional black vinegar.
10
Allow the chili oil to cool completely before transferring to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator.
