Chile or chili oil is a spicy oil infusion made by adding chili flakes or whole dried chilies to an oil such as vegetable or olive oil. It is often used as a condiment, especially in Asian cuisine, and it can also be used as the base for a sauce or sautéed dish. Many grocers carry chili oil, especially in the Asian or specialty foods aisles. It can also easily be made at home.
