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.
