Frequently Asked Questions

What is spicy chilli oil and how is it used in cooking?

Spicy chilli oil is a flavourful blend of oil infused with chillies, aromatics, and spices that adds heat, richness, and depth to almost any dish. You can drizzle it over noodles, dumplings, eggs, stir fries, toast, rice bowls, and even salads for an instant lift.

Is hot chilli oil the same as red chilli oil?

Hot chilli oil and red chilli oil are often used interchangeably, although the exact flavour depends on the type of chillies and aromatics used. Hot chilli oil focuses on heat, while red chilli oil sometimes carries a deeper, slightly smoky profile from the red chillies.

What makes the spiciest chilli oil so hot?

The spiciest chilli oil gets its intensity from the specific chilli varieties used, the quantity of chilli flakes or fresh chillies in the infusion, and how long the oil is heated to extract those fiery compounds. Oils made with bird’s eye, Sichuan, or ghost chilli are usually the hottest.

Is chilli oil suitable for people who prefer mild heat?

Yes, milder versions exist and can be used sparingly for those who enjoy a gentle warmth without overwhelming spice. A small drizzle lets you control the heat level dish by dish.

Does spicy chilli oil work for both cooking and finishing dishes?

You can heat it in the pan for stir fries or use it as a finishing oil for noodles, dumplings, eggs, soups, and snacks. Cooking it intensifies the flavour while drizzling it at the end keeps the aromatics fragrant.

Does spicy chilli oil work for both cooking and finishing dishes?

Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. If your chilli oil contains fresh aromatics, store it in the refrigerator once opened for maximum freshness and flavour stability.
