Reply to comment by Mikro_koritsi in [Homemade] Avocado Toast with a Fried Egg and Chili Crisp by winter_beard

Start with garlic in cold oil, fry it until its fragrant. Take it out. Add shallots and fry those until they're golden brown. Cool the oil to about 130f and dump over a combo of chili flakes and ginger and other spices. You got yourself chili crisp. It's incredibly umami and complex and is used like any other condiment to boost flavor. I particularly like it in instant ramen and I always put it over my fried eggs.

Start with garlic in cold oil?

What is that? How do I start with it?

It seems like garlic and onion fried in oil, and then adding chili flakes and ginger etc.

I start almost every quick cream pasta sauce by throwing some chili’s and onions in oil in a wok, bringing it up to a mid temp and then adding garlic or ginger.

I think I’m doing this without doing it ‘right’.
