## TO MAKE THE OIL

Combine oil, star anise, cinnamon stick, fennel seed, black peppercorns, bay leaves, pimento, and cardamom pods in a large pot and heat to 150°C.

Meanwhile, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, seven spice and Korean chilli flakes in a large heat resistant bowl.

Once the oil reaches 150°C, carefully pour it over the spices.

Leave overnight on the kitchen bench to infuse. As it is oil and dry spices refrigeration isn”t necessary.

Pour through an oil filter the next day and store it in a sterilised container.

## TO MAKE THE DRESSING

Whisk all ingredients together and drizzle over your favourite salad.

Tip: This dressing will separate but just give it a good shape before use and it comes together beautifully. You can also add more heat if wanted to by adding more dried chilli
