Garlic Chili Oil
Garlic chili oil is a spicy and aromatic condiment made by infusing oil with garlic and dried chili flakes. The result is a vibrant, reddish-orange oil that is both spicy and savory, with a strong garlic flavor that adds a punch to dishes like noodles, dumplings, braised pork, or as a dipping sauce.
