Plain ol' Hot Oil


1 cup peanut oil
4 tbls dried crushed red pepper flakes

Heat oil to about 350, add pepper flakes and heat for about 5
minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour or until cool.
Strain and store in a sealed container. 

=================================================================
Sesame Hot Oil
(My favorite for Dim Sum and Pit Beef or Pork)

1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
10 dried Bird's Eye (Chinese) peppers 

Heat peanut oil to about 350 and add peppers. Cook 5 minutes and
remove from heat. Add sesame oil. Pour into a storage container.
Note: Don't heat the sesame oil with the peanut oil. The smoking
(burning) point is too low.
