CHILE OIL:  From "From Pantry to Table, " by Mark Spieler.
Pour 1 cup oil over 2 tablespoons crumbled small hot dried chile
peppers or red pepper flakes, depending on heat of peppers and your
own taste. Some chiles (such as bird's eye) are incendiary and need
to be used sparingly. For more pronounced flavor, gently heat the
chile oil. A bay leaf or two may be added.  Drizzle onto pot stickers
along with soy sauce and a strong, sour vinegar.
Makes 1 cup.
