  4. In a small saucepan, heat up the avocado oil.

Notes

Gochugaru - is a korean chili. Very mild smoky flavor. Not spicy at all. Traditionally used to make kimchi.
Red chili pepper - use as much or as little as you want. This is the spicy component of your chili oil
Maple syrup - use whatever sweetener you like. The sweetness is to balance out all the flavors. White sugar, brown sugar, honey. Whatever you have on hand.
Soy sauce - tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos works great as well.
