7 Insanely Spicy Chilli Oil Recipes

By John Rosato 7 Comments

If you’ve been to a half-decent Vietnamese restaurant I’ll bet you’ve come across a little jar or tin of this baby. Chilli oil is a super flexible oil which is great for spicing up your stir fry or mixed through a beautiful Italian pasta. Best part is, a little goes a long way.

See our 11 insanely spicy chilli oil recipes below (best part is, there’s only one set of directions).

Directions

  1. Heat 2 table spoons of oil over a medium heat fry pan and fry off your ingredients, turning it down to a low heat before it begins to brown
  2. Add any remaining oil and warm through
  3. Let the oil cool to room tempreture
  4. Store in a tightly sealed jar and shake

Paprika Chilli Oil

A great sidekick for pork and lamb dishes alike.

  • 2 Tablespoons of dried chilli flakes
  • 200ml of sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 clove of crushed garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika

Avocado Chilli Oil

Perfect mixed in with balsamic and over a salad, for that bit of added heat.

  • 3 facing heaven peppers
  • 2 Tablespoon of sichuan peppercorns
  • 100ml of avocado oil
  • 100ml of olive oil
  • 1 tea spoon of salt

Citrus Special Chilli Oil

Another salad special, this time with the popular and easy to find bird’s eye.

  • 6 bird’s eye chillies
  • Tablespoon of cayenne pepper corns
  • 200 ml of peanut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon rind

Ghost Chilli Oil

This one isn’t for the faint-hearted and with this don’t fry off the chilli. Give the oil 2-3 weeks to preserve and infuse the heat.

  • 3 ghost chillies (raw)
  • 200ml of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Garlic Chilli Oil

Who doesn’t like Garlic? Yeah exactly! Drizzle some of this over a pizza, pasta or through a dirty Sunday morning kebab. You know you want to.

  • 1/4 cup of dried chilli flakes
  • 200ml of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cloves of garlic

Italian Chilli Oil

This time we’ve gone full italian with some added garlic, oregano and basil. The only way to finish your pizza.

  • 1/4 cup of dried chilli flakes
  • 200ml of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Asian Chilli Oil

chilli oil

  • 1/4 cup of dried chilli flakes
  • 200ml of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons of sichuan peppercorns

With only a few staple ingredients there’s nothing stopping you from making a few and inventing a couple of your own.
