Description
🔥 Homemade Garlic Chili Crunch Oil is a bold, flavor-packed condiment that brings heat, umami, and irresistible crunch to every dish. Made with golden-fried garlic, crispy shallots, toasted chili flakes, and a hint of sweetness, this oil is steeped in aromatic spices like star anise and Sichuan peppercorns. Balanced with a savory soy undertone and a touch of vinegar for brightness, each spoonful adds a fiery kick and satisfying texture to noodles, rice bowls, dumplings, eggs, or even pizza. It’s the ultimate jar of magic for spice lovers.
Ingredients
1/2 cup oil
6 cloves fresh garlic, sliced or minced
2 Tbsp red chili flakes
2 Tbsp dried minced garlic
2 Tbsp dried onion chopped
2 tsp of granulated sugar
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Mince or slice the garlic to your preferred size (it doesn’t really matter how big or small it is, just how much of a garlic bite you want).
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute or until lightly golden.
- Immediately remove from heat (the garlic will continue to cook a little in the pan. You want it to be just a light golden brown. Don’t let the garlic burn or else it will become bitter).
- Stir in rest of the ingredients (red chili flakes, dried minced garlic, dried chopped onion, sugar, sesame seeds, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne, and soy sauce).
- Taste for flavor and adjust to your liking. Cool completely. After cooled, store in a mason jar or similar. Stir well before using.
