Dong He Fried Shallots in Oil
Super crunchy and packed full of savory shallot-spiked oil, Dong He’s Fried Shallots in Oil is the perfect topping for nearly any dish. Inspired by the fried shallots common in Chinese and Taiwanese cooking, this version combines crispy bits of the sweet, slightly bitter allium with rich oil, a bit of salt, a hint of sugar and an umami-bomb secret weapon: MSG. Use it as a topping (like a chili crisp) for just about anything: noodles, rice, breakfast sandwiches, eggs, salmon, potatoes, chicken wings, chicken and waffles, steak, chowder, tortellini, pasta, salads and more. Or, use the oil alone as a dressing, mixed into sauces or drizzled as a finishing oil to bring leftovers back to life.
