Method

Heat a frying-pan or wok over a high heat and add the oil. Put in the rest of the ingredients and cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool undisturbed and then pour it into a jar. Leave the mixture to stand for 2 days. Strain and discard the solids from the chilli oil, returning the oil to the glass jar for use in recipes. It will keep indefinitely.
