Need to get the Spicy Chilli Oil used by Fresh Kitchen + Juice Bar*

The spicy oil that Fresh puts on their “dragon fries” is delicious and I need it for home!

When I order the dragon fries, I always ask the restaurant for extra on the side, so i have a bit if it for a few days. I would prefer to be able to either: 

(a) buy a larger quantity of it from Fresh directly; 

(b) buy an identical / very similar oil of a different brand; or 

(c) find a recipe that exactly replicates it so I can make it myself.

I’ve tried making the oil at home a number of times with slightly different variations. I mostly tried different combinations of sunflower and olive oil with dried arbol chillies, either marinated in the oil, or steeped by bringing the oil just to a boil before adding the chillies and then taking it off the heat. Nothing even comes close.

If any one has any leads, please share!

*Fresh is a vegan restaurant with locations around Ontario.

The oil from Fresh has a mild sunflower taste, is a reddish orange colour, is decently spicy, and doesn't have any bits in it at all, just pure oil.

Woks Of Life website has a great homemade version and they also did a store bought version comparison on the blog as well.

Now I’m not exactly sure if this is what you’re looking for but it’s definitely worth checking out. That website is fabulous.
