Some Chinese places offer a side of what looks very much like dried red pepper flakes in olive oil, don’t know the proper name of it but there’s more to it than that, the peppers may have been dried but they’re still sort of meaty, garlic is involved too. Love it, whatever it is. “Pepper oil” is all I know, and they know what I mean so it works, lol.
You may be thinking of post #34
There is also Sambal olek which is without the garlic
Awesome!
It’s called “Chili Oil” be sure to stir it before using.
