Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the seasonings as shown in the picture. The ratio of chili pepper to oil is completely up to the individual. If you often eat cold dishes, you can use more oil.

2. 2 Crush the dried chilies into powder. If you like a delicate taste, you can sift it again.

3. 3 Mix paprika, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and salt. Stir well.

4. 4 Burn oil.

5. 5 Add peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, tangerine peel, and nutmeg. If you have grass fruits, you can also add them. The hot oil will release the aroma.

6. 6 Turn off the heat and let cool for a minute (very important), then strain out the seasoning. Pour the hot oil into the peppers, stirring slowly as you pour.

7. 7 Add a little vinegar. Boiling will occur when vinegar is added.

8. 8 Add a little sugar to taste and brighten.
