自制甜辣椒油 (Zi Zhi Tian La Jiao You)




It took me years to figure out the difference between paprika and chili powder. Paprika powder is not spicy at all, it has sweet flavor and very deep red color. I have used paprika powder for many roast meat recipes. While I love the spiciness from hot chili pepper, I believe it would be nice to have a convenient condiment like homemade chili oil but not spicy at all, for example, adding to soup or salad. Luckily paprika oil fits in this role really well, this is really nice for kids who refuse to eat spicy food.

This uber easy recipe uses microwave to cook the oil directly in a glass jar, no hassle for cleaning pots and pans.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon paprika powder
  • 8 tablespoon canola oil
Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 minute
Servings: 1 small jar of paprika oil

Cooking Steps

1. Get a clean and dry small glass jar, I used a fruit jar I cleaned after finishing the fruit. I feel so good every time I reuse something.
2. Add 2 tablespoon paprika powder to the jar, add 8 tablespoon canola oil.




3. Use chopstick or spoon or any tool to mix the paprika powder evenly with the oil.
4. Microwave with high power for 1 minute or until the oil bubbles and the pepper aroma comes out.


5. Let the oil cool down, seal with the jar lid.
