This is my homemade version of the ever popular Chinese Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp Oil. The Sichuan peppercorn gives a subtle mala kick. This condiment is versatile, add it to eggs, vegetables, stews, noodles, rice, and it instantly elevates the taste. Not to mention how easy it is to make a batch which I can use for a long time.
