Make your own quick chili crisp! This is a simplified 5-min version of the beloved chili crisp condiment using dried spices. It's no Momofuko substitution (we're big David Chang fans and recommend his book, Cooking at Home), but at half the price and only a few minutes of preparation, it's a fantastic substitution in a pinch. The spice can be used as is a finishing condiment, too.
Chili Crisp Directions: Put a shy 1/4 cup chili crisp seasoning in a heat proof bowl. Next, heat 1/4 cup preferred neutral oil (canola, peanut or grapeseed work well) to a simmer in a small skillet. If you tilt the skillet, and the oil shimmers in a ripple — it's ready! Alternatively, stick the end of a wooden spoon in the oil and if the bubbles rise to the surface it's ready. Quickly pour the hot oil over the spices and stir. Store in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to a month.
Chili Crunch Directions: Add an extra 2 tablespoons peanuts or sliced almonds to the recipe above to add additional texture.
Chili Oil Directions: Double the oil if you want to make an infused chili oil instead.
To add more flavor, first simmer a shallot in the oil for 20 minutes until crispy and golden!
