Instructions

1. 1
   Mix chile flakes and salt in a heat-proof bowl.
2. 2
   Mix 1 tablespoon of the oil into the chile flake/salt mixture. This will prevent the chile from scorching when hot oil is added later.
3. 3
   Heat peanut oil to about 200°C (392°F). Small bubbles should form when poking a wooden chopstick into the oil.
4. 4
   Pour heated oil over chilli flake mixture and stir vigorously.
5. 5
   Allow to cool and store in a container.
