Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Mix red pepper flakes, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, mushroom powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Bring oil, shallots, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue simmering, swishing oil around occasionally, until garlic and shallots are browned, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Strain shallot mixture through a fine mesh sieve over red pepper flake mixture. Let garlic and shallot pieces cool in the sieve, then stir them back into the infused oil. Discard star anise.
Step 4
Pour into a glass container with a secure top; chill until ready to use.
