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. Use them the same day they are fried. Ingredients:
2 cups thinly sliced shallots (about 4 large) |
2 cups canola oil |
Directions:
1. Combine shallots and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, 15 to 20 minutes, until shallots are golden brown and crisp. Don't increase the heat-the sugars in the shallots will caramelize too quickly and burn.
2. Transfer shallots to paper towels to drain, spreading slices in a single layer. Strain oil and save to fry more shallots if you like; it keeps, chilled airtight, several weeks.
3. Note: Nutritional analysis is per tbsp.
