Ingredients

1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 ½ shallots, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 whole star anise pods
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ cup red pepper flakes
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece ginger, or more to taste, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon shiitake mushroom powder
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Bring oil, shallots, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue simmering, swishing oil around occasionally, until garlic and shallots are browned, about 20 minutes.
Mix red pepper flakes, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, mushroom powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Strain shallot mixture through a fine mesh sieve over red pepper flake mixture. Let garlic and shallot pieces cool in the sieve, then stir them back into the infused oil. Discard star anise.
Pour into a glass container with a secure top; chill until ready to use.
