Crispy Fried Shallots


Ingredients:
300g shallot
600ml cooking oil
1 tsp salt + sprinkle

Directions/Instructions:
  1. Peel and sliced thinly.  Add 1 tsp salt and mix well for a min (Note: Help to release the excess mucus and starch).  Let it rest for a min.
  2. Rinse with water to wash away any excess starch and mucus.  Wash away the salinity as well.  Drain off the water and let it dry off on a kitchen paper towel before frying.
  3. Pour the cooking oil while the wok is yet to be heated up.  Start to fry the sliced shallot from the cold oil.
  4. Keep stirring the sliced shallots to spread the hot oil evenly on medium-low heat for about 8-10 mins.
  5. When the shallots turn slightly yellowish-brown, keep eye on the flame to prevent it from getting burnt.
  6. When it starts to turn golden, turn off the heat and prepare to scoop it out.
  7. Drain the fried shallot onto a kitchen paper towel.  Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt over the cooked shallots.  Let it cool completely.  Store in an air-tight container.
