/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yeah, the board feels pretty fragmented at the moment. Low effort drive by threads have a better chance of surviving than cookalongs that actually generate conversation because odds are two anons will get into a slapfight and get the whole thing nuked.
Large chilli oil batch:
3L oil, 1kg dried red chillies, ground
Chop and deep fry: 3 shallots, 2 large white onions, 3 lemon grass stalks, 2" ginger, bunch spring onions, 2 heads of garlic, few star anise, black peppercorns, cloves, fennel seeds and cinnamon
Strain the solids out when crisp, add half the chilli. Let the oil cool for 20min, add the rest along with 50-80g salt.

Made a batch of chilli oil yesterday. I was gonna make a thread about it, but when I went to save the images I saw I already had a bunch cropped and named, so I guess I must have done it before and forgotten.
