How to Make Chili Oil

1½ cups oil (ideally a vegetable, peanut, or grapeseed oil...light olive oil is fine, but it has a tendency to set in the fridge)

5 star anise

1 cinnamon stick (preferably cassia cinnamon)

2 bay leaves

3 tablespoons Sichuan peppercorns

¾ cup crushed red pepper flakes (Sichuan chili flakes are the best)

1 to 1½ teaspoons salt (to taste)
