Chili Crisp Is the Condiment of the Moment—Here’s How to Use It

If you like it extra spicy, add in some extra chilli powder or even some finely-sliced fresh chillies. Next up are your fresh aromatics, of which garlic and shallots are the most important. These provide the majority of the ‘crisp’ along with the chilli flakes and ground spices. Beyond that there’s fresh ginger and – if you like – fresh chillies. These aren’t essential but will add a slightly brighter note to the final flavour. They – and any other fresh ingredients you’re adding apart from the garlic and onion – are both best used as larger pieces to infuse the oil before being discarded. Depending on how well you’ve cleaned, sanitised and dried your containers, this can last two weeks in room temperature. Perhaps even longer. Make sure the crisps are all submerged in the oil. If you want this to last even longer, you can store this in the fridge. The oil might solidify in the cooler temperature though so I do not do this.

Where to Buy Chili Crisp

To make the chilli oil: Place all the ingredients for the chilli oil, except for the chilli flakes, salt, sugar and MSG. Stir well and put the pan over a medium-low heat. Allow to simmer and bubble very gently for around 30 minutes. The oil temperature should be consistently around 120°C/250°F. The shallots, garlic and Thai basil will turn brittle and crispy. If you notice they start burning, reduce the heat. Once the oil has simmered, allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the chilli flakes, chilli powder, salt, sugar and MSG in a large bowl. Stir well. Very carefully pour the hot oil over them and stir well. Allow to cool. Pour the oil into a sterilised jar and close tightly. It's ready to use now but tastes even better after a few days. Storage instructions for this chilli oil are in the recipe notes below. Find Sichuan red chili flakes at Chinese grocery stores.

Cut the aubergine into bite-sized batons, dunk in a simple tempura batter and deep fry squishy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Use ice-cold water or better yet, ice-cold sparkling water for the lightest results. And finally, there is soy sauce, sugar and that all-important oil. Simple sunflower oil is just fine.As the oil heats up, the ginger, shallots and garlic will sizzle and begin to colour. As soon as they turn golden, remove them with a slotted spoon. Discard the ginger and leave the shallots and garlic to crisp up as they cool. Of course, with any food products, if you notice mould, or it smells off, please discard immediately!

How to Make Chili Crisp - the Recipe Method

The same applies to pasta. In fact I like to add some of my crispy chilli to my Seafood Arrabbiata recipe. I rarely hunt this down, instead I use a blend of Gochugaru and Thai Chilli Flakes– which I always have in my pantry – to get the best combo of colour and spice. Gochugaru adds colour, but mine is not spicy. This is why I add the Thai Chilli Flakes, which are super spicy! It doesn’t add much colour though. What Spices to Use for Crispy Chilli Oil? These flakes are brighter red and have fewer seeds than your run-of-the-mill Italian crushed red pepper flakes, which tend to be roasted longer and darker (pouring hot oil over them results in a burnt, dull-flavored chili oil, and no one wants that). Five Spice Powder: Other spices you can use includes cloves, cinnamon, cardamoms, but I personally am too lazy to strain these out of the oil – so I use five spice powder instead! This is optional though. If adding, make sure to not add too much otherwise it will an overwhelming flavour. You want the above spices to shine more.
