A perfect addition to your pantry, this Momofuku-inspired chili crunch brings flavor and heat to any dish. Simple to make and incredibly versatile, it combines the richness of oil with the heat of chilies and the crunch of garlic and shallots.
Ingredients
Directions
In a small saucepan, heat the neutral oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the sliced garlic and shallots to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat, and using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried garlic and shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a heatproof bowl, mix the chili flakes, sesame seeds, and salt. Pour the hot oil over the mixture, stirring to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the crispy garlic and shallots. Stir until evenly distributed.
Mix in the chopped scallions for added freshness and flavor.
Let the chili crunch cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to a month.
Conclusion
Tips:- Adjust the amount of chili flakes based on your heat preference.- This chili crunch can be used as a topping for noodles, rice dishes, pizza, or even grilled meats for an extra kick.- For a fun twist, try experimenting with different kind of seeds or nuts in the mix!
