Homemade Chili Crisp

in

From my kitchen
Say goodbye to store-bought chili oil. If I can make it fresh at home, extra crispy, garlicky, spicy, a little sweet, and way better… I’m making it at home.

Ramen, dumplings, rice, eggs… this goes on literally everything.

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups neutral oil
  • 8–10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup crispy fried onions, crushed
  • ⅓ cup red pepper flakes
  • 1½ tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1–1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1–2 tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • Pinch of black pepper

Directions

  1. Mix ⅓ cup red pepper flakes, 1½ tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1–1½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, a pinch of black pepper, and half of the ¾ cup crushed crispy fried onions.
  2. Gently fry 8–10 finely chopped garlic cloves in 1¼ cups neutral oil until lightly golden. Pour the hot oil and garlic over the dry ingredients.
  3. Let it sizzle, then stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1–2 tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice.
  4. Once slightly cooled, mix in the rest of the ¾ cup crispy fried onions.
  5. Keep refrigerated because of the fresh garlic.
