About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tsp whole spices (cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves)
Garlic Oil
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp whole spices
- 1 cup garlic cloves
Crunchy Mix
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 1 tbsp Sichuan chili flakes
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp fried garlic
Instructions
- 1Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
- 2Add the whole spices and gently stir, allowing them to release their aroma without burning.
- 3Add the sliced garlic cloves and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the garlic turns golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
- 4Chop the roasted peanuts on a wooden cutting board.
- 5In a separate bowl, combine the chopped peanuts, minced ginger, dried onion flakes, Sichuan chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and granulated sugar; mix until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- 6Whisk the mixture of peanuts, spices, and the hot garlic‑infused oil in a white bowl until fully combined.
- 7Fold in the crushed fried garlic, ensuring a crunchy texture throughout.
- 8Transfer the finished chili crisp mixture from the white ceramic bowl into a glass storage jar.
- 9Stir the contents of the jar with a spoon to settle the mixture.
- 10Let the mixture cool, then seal the jar and store in the refrigerator. The chili crisp will develop deeper flavor over a few days and can be kept for several weeks.
