Kim Dae-seok's Universal Green Onion Chili Oil

A frugal and delicious homemade chili oil enhanced with a subtle green onion aroma and spicy flavor, made by repurposing leftover cooking oil from fried cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients needed 5 servings

Cooking tips

  • Always add the green onion to the oil before turning on the heat and cook it slowly over low flame—this prevents burning and ensures maximum green onion flavor is infused into the oil.
  • After turning off the heat, avoid letting the oil cool too long, or the spicy flavor won’t extract well; pouring it in while too hot may burn the chili powder. Letting it cool just slightly for about 2 minutes is the key to authentic homemade chili oil.
  • The finished green onion chili oil elevates dishes like chicken feet, cuttlefish stir-fry, fish cake stir-fry, and eggplant stir-fry with deep, spicy, and satisfying flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to cleanly and deliciously reuse leftover cooking oil after frying.
  • Home cooks looking to make simple, flavorful homemade chili oil.
  • Beginners wanting to add bold, spicy depth to Korean-style stir-fries.
