Every time I’ve put them right away, they become soggy in a matter of days. That way they will stay crispy much longer. Then, I highly recommend letting the fried shallots and garlic air dry overnight and then add them to your chile oil. If you do it in a smaller pot the frying will take FOR EVER. It’s very important that the frying part is done in a shallow pot. I have made this recipe countless times now and I want to mention a couple things. We don't have shallots where I live so I subbed leeks, which didn't get crispy, but the flavors - hot, fragrant- are fantastic. I used a medium-sized (3 qt/2.9 l) sauce pan and my shallots and garlic came out browned and nice and crunchy in about 25 minutes, as in the recipe.
I just made a low-carb version of this for keto dieters using powdered erythritol in place of the sugar and WOW! SOOOO GOOD! LOVE IT!Īfter reading a number of whiny reviews here, I'd like to add that I don't find the recipe problematic at all, on the contrary. Made exactly as described turned out perfect. "Strain shallot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over ginger mixture" Lift the sieve, let those solids cool (someone below suggests overnight) before you put them into the bowl and mix everything together. (Ideally it sits nicely right in the bowl.) Now (carefully!) pour the shallots, garlic and oil mixture through the sieve into the bowl. Take a sieve and set it on top of the bowl. Set it down on the table (or other flat surface). Rune: maybe this will explain it better: You have a bowl with ginger and 3 other ingredients. Also what do I do with the star anise & cinnamon sticks - do these go back into the chilli oil or discarded, as instruction about these not given. I am not sure if I should put the shallots & garlic back into the bottle of chiili oil as these may become soggy. Onions & shallots came out nice & crispy after I left them on sieve after pouring the hot oil into red pepper mixture.
This will definitely be on the table from now on, excellent condiment!!! That’s ok though, the extra 10 minutes are worth it versus blasting it with heat and burning the garlic and making it bitter. I had to adjust me heat all the way down to the ‘lo’ setting and it took around 35-40 minutes to get perfectly crispy and golden brown. It’s pretty straight forward and easy to prepare. Not sure where some are having problems with this one. This recipe was fantastic, great heat along with great taste all around. Last but not least, drying the solids separately overnight does keep things crispier, but it’s still delicious when jammy and soft, so enjoy the journey. (Using the oil on its own just triggers the craving for moar crisp!)īoiling off 1:1 water/white vinegar helps a lot if the smell lingers. You need enough to cook with, but not all that much for storage/serving. We also prefer pouring off about a third to half the oil before blooming the chili mixture. I recently tried frying the onions/shallots in the microwave per the serious eats article (google it) - it’s easy, worked perfectly and was a bit less involved than stovetop, but at least in my microwave, didn’t save that much time. If it’s at all chewy, keep going, but stay close the color might feel like it holds forever but when it turns, it goes fast. If you’re not sure whether the solids are ready, color is the best indicator, but you can also pull a shallot out with a fork and drop into the sieve - it should immediately crisp up. Definitely recommend checking out the insta story with Molly if you’re at all confused on the process, it is time consuming and you have to pay attention, but its not actually difficult. It’s a labor of love and worth every minute. We double this and make it often, it’s the best recipe out there.
It is a must for me to double this recipe each time. I kind of panic when i'm down to my last teaspoon. I did fry the garlic & shallots separately, kept them in the strainer over night & crisped up nicely, married every thing next day. Followed recipe for the most part, except added toasted (freshly ground) Sichuan peppercorn. This is the best recipe!! Completely addicted now (no joke!). I primarily use it as part of the dipping sauce for wontons and atop avocado flatbread - both are also bon appetit recipes and both are excellent. This is The Best recipe! Tons of flavor, nice and crispy. I cooked them in the oil for 40 minutes until they were light brow, but they are not crispy at all. My garlic and shallots are presently cooling in the sieve. Don’t be a dunderhead like me- let the oil cool a bit before you pour! My was plastic and it didn’t occur to me it would melt. Everything went perfect until I went to pour the hot oil mix through the sieve.
