In a heat-safe bowl, add all the ingredients except for the oil and mix well.
Heat up the oil in a pan until it's hot.
Pour the hot oil over the dry ingredients in the bowl. This will "bloom" the spices and infuse the oil with flavor.
Once the sizzling stops, mix everything together until well combined.
Let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
Store the chili garlic oil in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Use the chili garlic oil as a marinade for fish or vegetables, or as a condiment on top of salads or other dishes.
Enjoy the spicy and flavorful kick that this chili garlic oil adds to your meals!
