CHILI CRISP RECIPE - HOW TO MAKE CHILI CRISP

Steps:

• Add the oil to a small pot along with the serrano peppers, shallot, garlic, peppercorns. Add the cinnamon stick and star anise pods, if using.
• Heat the oil to medium-low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the ingredients in the pot brown. It could take longer for the bits to brown and crisp depending on the size of your chopped peppers and oil temperature.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. The flavors will infuse the oil even further.
• In a separate heat-proof bowl, mix together the chili flakes, paprika (or Gochugaru), soy sauce, sugar and msg.
• Strain the oil into the chili flake mixture. Reserve the crispy serrano-shallot-garlic bits in the strainer and set them aside for now to cool, which will allow them to fully crisp up.
• Pick out the cinnamon stick and star anise pods (if using), then swirl the crispy bits back into the oil.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop even more. Stir before serving.

SHRIMP AND NOODLES WITH CHILI CRISP SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix shrimp with salt and baking soda; let sit for 15 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili crisp, gochujang, and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Drain spaghetti. Rinse shrimp with cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Warm oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink and opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallions and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Pour the chili crisp sauce over the shrimp. Mix in the cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated.

HOMEMADE CHILI CRISP

Steps:

• Bring oil, shallots, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium saucepan. Continue simmering, swishing oil around occasionally, until garlic and shallots are browned, about 20 minutes.
• Mix red pepper flakes, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, mushroom powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Strain shallot mixture through a fine mesh sieve over the ginger-pepper flake mixture. Let garlic and shallot pieces cool in sieve before stirring back into the infused oil. Pour into a glass container with a top and chill until ready to use.

CHILE CRISP

Steps:

• Combine the oil, onion, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chiles, sesame seeds and Sichuan peppercorns, if using, and sizzle, stirring, for 1 minute, then stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Spoon over everything. It adds big flavor to milder bases, such as eggs, tofu, noodles, rice, vegetables, white fish, lean pork and chicken breast.

CHILE CRISP

Steps:

• Bring shallots, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and oil to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, reducing heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer and swirling pan occasionally, until shallots and garlic are browned and crisp, 20-25 minutes. (Take your time-you want to drive all the moisture out of the shallots and garlic before they brown.)
• Mix ginger, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and sugar in a medium bowl to combine. Strain shallot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into ginger mixture. Let shallots and garlic cool in sieve (this will allow them to crisp further), then stir into sauce.
• Do Ahead: Chile crisp can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Heat the oil, black beans, Szechuan peppercorns, cardamom pods, 4 star anise, 3 cinnamon sticks and all but 1 slice of ginger in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until the oil reaches 250 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes to infuse.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the gochugaru, red pepper flakes, Kashmiri red chile powder, sugar, MSG, garlic, onion remaining star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger slice and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium heat-proof bowl.
• Strain the spiced oil through a fine mesh sieve into the dry chile mixture and stir to combine. (Discard the oil-soaked whole spices.) Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. The flavor will develop and intensify as it sits. Serve when completely cool.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
