Crispy chilli oil is the perfect sauce to drizzle on anything that needs a crispy savoury kick
If you haven't tried it before, it's one of the most satisfying things. It's like sprinkling crispy onions on top of a dish except it's also spicy and full of umami flavours like garlic, soy sauce and 5 spice.
I make it using shallots, currently in season (March-June), as they have a milder sweeter flavour which pairs so well with the spices in the oil.
It's delicious sprinkled on everything from stir fries to hummus toast and salads or even just plain rice.
