Step 1

Add Water (50 milliliter) to the Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (50 gram) and mix well. Set aside, let the chilli flakes soak in the water little bit.

Step 2

Heat the Oil (250 gram) in a saucepan over medium heat, add in Sichuan Peppercorns (2 1/2 teaspoon), Bay Leaf (1), Star Anise (2), Garlic (2 clove), and Fresh Ginger (1 1/4 teaspoon) into the oil. Heat until the garlic turns golden in colour, that normally takes 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, set aside.

Step 3

Mix the Sesame Seeds (2 1/2 teaspoon), Salt (1/2 teaspoon), and chilli flakes in a heatproof glass jar and place a metal tea sieve on top. Pour in the hot oil very slowly.

Step 4

Take away the tea sieve and let the jar cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
