Heat 1 cup of oil in a pan until hot.

Pour the blended chili paste into the hot oil.

Cook the chili paste for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it changes color.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the chili paste during cooking.

Once the oil starts to separate from the chili paste, it is done.
