Carefully pour the hot oil over the chili sauce mixture. Stir and mix until well combined. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.

Serve immediately over dumplings, wontons, tofu, ramen, or other noodles.

For storage - let the chili oil cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the oil to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
