Does pepper stir-fry smell good? 30 years of chef experience sharing: because you missed the "most important" stage.

Many people like spicy food. Some people even stop eating spicy food. Many people can't eat chili. For some people, chili peppers have an appetizing effect. Some even use chili to mix the flavors. Many people make chili into chili oil. Because the processed chili oil has a unique taste, not only spicy, but also fragrant, so people who can't eat spicy also have a special liking for chili oil. Especially if you add a little chili oil to your nap, wow, the taste is really great!
Many restaurants sell chili oil, but for convenience, they also make their own chili oil at home. But I found that the homemade chili oil was not as good as the red chili oil in the restaurant. This is my uncle who has been a cook in a restaurant for over 30 years. After listening to my question, my uncle told me that I actually missed a step, which is the most important step in the whole process of making chili oil. Need to make a little supplement.
Now I'm going to tell you what my uncle taught me. First, prepare the ingredients: geranium, pepper, star anise, red paprika, cooking oil, onion, salt, peanuts, vinegar and sugar. Then start making. First, pour the right amount of cooking oil into the pot. When the oil is 50% warm, simmer the onion, geranium, chilli and star anise over a low heat and remove for later use.
