Chilli Oil/Chilli Dipping Sauce

• 2 tablespoons chopped dried red chillies
• 1 tablespoon whole unroasted Sichuan peppercorns

Heat a wok over a high heat and add the oil and the rest of the ingredients. Continue to cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool undisturbed and then pour it into a jar. Let the mixture sit for two days and then strain the oil. It will keep indefinitely.
