You can add hot oil to your dishes to make them a bit hotter. You can make 
your own hot oil very easily and it can be much hotter than store-bought
hot oil.

All you have to do is pour a 1/2 cup oil (peanut or sesame works best) into
your wok, and heat until it smokes slightly. Then just add your peppers
(crushed) to the oil, and let them fry a little bit. Let the mixture cool
and you're done! You can strain out the peppers if you like. (The amount
of peppers an cooking time vary the power of the oil) When it is cooking
be careful of the fumes - they can burn your nose-hair right off!! :-}
