Put the chiles, cardamom seeds (removed from pods), star anise, sichuan peppercorns and oil into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 24 to 48 hours.

Strain the chile oil and store it in a bottle for use as a condiment.
