Ingredients

15 shallots
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon Gogi tempura flour
½ cup oil

Instructions

Peel and slice the shallots thinly and evenly.
Place all the sliced shallots on a paper towel. Then, cover with another paper towel to remove water. Set a side for about 10 minutes.
Mix the tempura flour with the salt.
Put the oil in a pan over medium heat.
After setting aside for 10 minutes, put the shallots in a bowl. Add the flour and use your hand to mix the flour with the shallots.
Once the oil is sizzling, add the shallots to the pan and fry until golden before flipping. Continue to fry until the shallots are golden brown on all sides.
Use a slotted spoon the remove the shallots from the oil and place over a bowl to drain the excess oil and let cool.
Once the shallots are completely cool, store in an airtight container.

Notes

Be careful not to use high heat as the shallots will burn very quickly.
Removing the excess oil after frying helps extend your crispy fried shallots' shelf life.
Don't discard the oil after frying. You can use the shallot-scented oil to make a stir-fry. It'll taste beautiful!
