Instructions

Put the chili flakes, paprika, sesame seeds, salt, five-spice powder and any other seasonings in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the cooking oil over medium heat with the ginger, scallions and smashed garlic for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Remove the ginger, scallions and garlic from the oil, then heat the oil to about 325°F (163°C).
Pour in one ladleful of the hot oil and whisk right away so the chilies sizzle and bloom.
Slowly pour in the rest of the hot oil while whisking.
Once the oil is poured, stir in the Chinkiang vinegar carefully, as it may splatter.
