  3. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and add the sliced garlic and green onion to infuse the oil.
  4. Add 1.5 tablespoons of gochugaru and stir-fry gently over low heat to make chili oil without burning.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When frying the gochugaru, if the heat is too high, it will burn easily and become bitter, so be sure to stir-fry gently over low heat.
  • Adding 2 tablespoons of heavy cream at the end will mellow the spiciness and deepen the flavor.
