These berry oatmeal scones are the simplest and best-tasting ones ever. Because of how simple they are to make, I’ve been doing it since I was nine years old.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 1 ½ shallots, finely chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 6 whole star anise pods
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup red pepper flakes
- 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece ginger, or more to taste, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon shiitake mushroom powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Bring oil, shallots, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue simmering, swishing oil around occasionally, until garlic and shallots are browned, about 20 minutes.
- Mix red pepper flakes, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, mushroom powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Strain shallot mixture through a fine mesh sieve over red pepper flake mixture. Let garlic and shallot pieces cool in the sieve, then stir them back into the infused oil. Discard star anise.
- Pour into a glass container with a secure top; chill until ready to use.

This is delicious! We made it exactly as written, and I wouldn’t change one thing. We have used this over chicken corn chowder and cream of crab soup and it adds flavor and heat. I can’t wait to try it on something else.
Tasty and just as good as the jar on the table in our local Thai restaurant!
This is delicious. I couldn’t find mushroom powder, so I pulverized a dried shiitake mushroom. This was delicious on an omelette. Thank you for the recipe.
