CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS
Crispy fried shallots are an essential condiment in Vietnam. They turn up in soups and on salads, sprinkled onto dumplings as a garnish, and minced and added to meatballs. Crispy, sweet, and salty, they are indispensible. You may want to make double batches, as people have a hard time resisting the urge to snack on them.

Steps:
- 1. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it registers 275°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- 2. Increase the heat to high and place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl. When the oil registers 350°F on the deep-fry thermometer, add the once fried shallots and cook just until they are crispy and well-browned, about 1-2 seconds, watching carefully so the shallots don't burn.
- 3. Immediately pour the oil and shallots through the sieve to stop the cooking, then transfer to shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the oil for another use. The shallots will keep, stored in an airtight container, for 1 day, but they're best the day they are made.
SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO E FRIED SHALLOT
Adding homemade or store-bought fried shallots to classic garlic spaghetti gives it extra caramelized sweetness and depth of flavor, along with crunch. Add the shallots in two stages so that some of them soften and give their flavor to the sauce, and the rest remain crispy. Cooking the spaghetti in a relatively small amount of water concentrates its starch, making it easier to form a creamy, emulsified sauce. If you can't have your pasta without cheese, feel free to grate some Parm or pecorino on top at the table.

Steps:
- If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 2. If using store-bought shallots, toast them in a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
- Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and roughly mince. Set aside. Add a couple of inches of water and a large pinch of salt to the skillet, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente (about a minute less than the package directions).
- Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup oil, the minced garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt in a large saucepan or skillet. Heat, stirring frequently, over medium-low until the garlic is very aromatic and just starting to turn pale gold in parts, about 5 minutes. It should maintain a very gentle sizzle the whole time it is cooking (adjust heat as necessary). When the garlic is done, shut off the heat, then, using a ladle or spoon, add a large splash of the pasta water to the pan with oil to halt the cooking. Add half the toasted shallots and stir.
- When the pasta is just shy of al dente, using tongs, transfer it to the pan with the garlic oil, allowing any liquid that clings to it to come along; reserve a bit of the pasta water. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Return the pan with the pasta and garlic oil to high heat, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until a creamy, emulsified sauce coats the pasta. (If the sauce looks watery, continue tossing and cooking. If it looks broken and oily, add some more pasta water a few tablespoons at a time and continue cooking until it emulsifies.) Stir in the parsley and chives (if using), season to taste with more salt (it can take quite a bit of salt), transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved toasted fried shallots and serve.
GARLIC-SHALLOT CRUNCH
In Southeast Asian cooking, crispy fried shallots and garlic add irresistible crunch and a subtle toasted sweetness to everything from curries and noodles to refreshing herb- laden salads. I like them so much and end up wanting them on everything, so making a big batch is the way to go for me. This recipe requires more knife work than any other in my book. I apologize for that, but know that the payoff is worth it. Also, once the shallots and garlic are sliced, the hard part is over. These get crunchier and cook faster if the shallot and garlic are sliced evenly and as thin as possible. If you have a mandoline, use it here. It's not totally necessary, but it makes for easier and faster work. If you're scared of the sharp blade, use a dish towel to hold on to whatever you're slicing or wear a rubber glove (the kind you might wear to wash dishes). Take. Your. Time. You'll be left with a jar of intensely flavorful oil to boot. Use that to sear fish or make dressing.

Steps:
- Combine shallots and garlic in a small pot. Add enough vegetable oil just to cover and place over medium heat. When shallots and garlic are sizzling vigorously, about 4 minutes in, reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shallots and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a little salt. Let oil cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Crunchies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 month.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is heated, add the broccoli, flat sides down, in an even layer, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let the broccoli cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the broccoli and continue cooking until the broccoli is tender-crisp, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the broccoli to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to low and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic, shallot and chile flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the lemon zest and juice and stir to combine.
- Spoon the lemon-shallot mixture over the broccoli and serve.
CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS
These are a very tasty condiment. They go well with my Fried Garlic Chips, but stand alone also. I always do the garlic and shallots, using the same oil, then save the flavorful oil for other purposes. It's a win-win! We love these crispy little critters on baked potatoes, salads, and buttered toast. YUM! Make sure the shallots are very thinly sliced, using a mandoline. Enjoy!

FRIED SHALLOT OR GARLIC FLAKES
These are a very crisp and tasty topping or addition to everything from soups and salads to curries and stir-fries. You can find these commercially prepared in Asian markets, but you can't beat the taste of freshly homemade. I love them with seafood (trying serving crab over a bed of garlic flakes!)

- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a medium heatproof bowl. Thinly slice shallots crosswise into rings on a mandoline (they should be about the thickness of a dime).
- Place shallots in a medium saucepan and pour in oil to submerge. Set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often with a fork to encourage rings to separate, until shallots are golden brown, 20–25 minutes. (Keep an eye on them; once they start to brown they’ll darken fast.)
- Pour shallots into strainer to drain, then transfer to paper towels. Season with salt and let cool. Reserve shallot oil for another use, like vinaigrettes, stir-fries, and soups.
