In Modernist Cuisine, Myrvhold et al advocate for a sous vide chili oil. Roast the chilis and other ingredients at about 250 in the oven, then sous vide at 158. Never made it myself, and it's not intended to be authentic Chinese chili oil. They also mention using a pressure cooker instead, which seems reasonable.

A similar story took place with checkers in the mid 20th century. People discovered that Senegalese players, who played a similar but not identical game, had transferable skills and knowledge that allowed them to instantly compete with top professionals. One of them eventually won (or tied for) the World Championship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Sy

The sequence of mutations leading to Omicron is a one-off. Presumably, if there were a thousand variants with the same N mutations as Omicron, you'd see ratios like the ones you describe, but there's only one Omicron. The previous poster is pointing out it's plausible (~5% chance) that the path Omicron took has only 4 S mutations.
