crunchy chili oil


Chili flakes infused in oil with crunchy bits of scallions. It's the perfect 3-ingredient condiment you can easily make in 10 minutes. I love it on dumplings, eggs, soup, pan fried veggies and more. I always have a jar on hand for when I want the extra crunch and spicy flavor in my meal.

Ingredients  

  • 2 tbsp Red pepper flakes
  • 2 Large shallots, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Avocado oil

Instructions 

  • Add red pepper flakes to a small jar and set aside.
  • Bring oil in a small pot to a medium-high heat. When oil is hot, drop in shallots.
    *Oil is hot and ready for frying when a cooking thermometer reaches about 350℉ or can test by dropping a chopstick in the oil to see if it bubbles.
  • Fry shallots until deep golden brown which should take about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove and carefully transfer the shallot-oil to the jar with pepper flakes.
  • Stir the mixture and allow to cool before handling. Enjoy as a condiment on your dishes!
