20 Minute Chili Crisp
This is an umami packed chili crisp recipe that can be done in 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups neutral oil (I use corn oil)
- 2 large shallots
- 8 cloves garlic
- ½ cup Chinese red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- ¾ tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp MSG (optional)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Thinly slice garlic and shallots. They should be even and look like this.
- Pour oil into a sauce pan then add your garlic and shallots. Turn up the heat to med-high and continue to stir until they start to brown then set aside. You will see bubbling and this might take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on temperature.
- While the garlic and shallots are cooking, mix both red chili flakes, sugar, salt, and MSG into a heat proof container. I use stainless steel because the high temperatures might cause cracks in glass.
- Once the shallots and garlic are done cooking, heat up the same oil up to 350F and then pour it over the red chili mixture.
- Add soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, and the crispy shallots and garlic. Mix and enjoy!
