Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon juice about ½ lemon
  • ½ tablespoon Chili oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • ½ cup Canola oil + 1 tbsp. (or other neutral oil)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt more to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by cracking three eggs and separating the yolks and the whites.
  • Save the whites to use for something else or just discard.
  • Peel a garlic clove and grate the garlic into the bowl with the egg yolks.
  • Squeeze half a lemon into the bowl as well.
  • Use a whisk to combine all of these.
  • Add in the chili oil and stir to combine.
  • Slowly drizzle in the canola oil while whisking with the other hand until all of the oil has been combined.
  • The aioli should have become very thick.
  • Once thickened, add salt and combine.
  • Taste and adjust levels of salt and chili oil if desired.
  • Serve slightly chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • I highly encourage using a neutral flavored oil for this. Canola or vegetable oil are great options. Though, something like avocado oil or a very light olive oil are acceptable.
  • Use whatever chili oil you enjoy the most. I used a chili oil with crisps from Xi'an Famous Foods, but any kind will work!
  • Adjust this recipe to your liking! If you want more spice, feel free to go heavy with the chili oil. If you want to throw in another flavor that you like, that works too!
