Crushed red pepper, also known as red pepper flakes, is made from dried and crushed red chili peppers. The process begins with selecting ripe chilies, which are then dried typically under the sun or using dehydrators. Once brittle and moisture-free, they are crushed into small pieces, but not so finely as to become a powder. This distinction is key; while chili powder might be smoked or ground into a finer texture for sprinkling, crushed red pepper's coarser grind allows it to be used in a variety of applications without overpowering other flavors.

Now add your Sichuan chili flakes and sugar. Stir to combine.
