Fried Shallots (Hanh Phi)

Watch how to make it here

Crispy, sweet, and full of flavor, fried shallots are a staple topping in Vietnamese cuisine. This can be made in 10 minutes and enjoyed throughout the week.

Notes:

1. During the frying process, there should be enough oil to cover the shallots. One cup of avocado oil should be sufficient but feel free to add a bit more as needed.
2. It is crucial to monitor the shallots around the 4-5 minute mark. If it begins to turn light golden brown, remove it immediately as it will continue cooking.
3. Store any leftover fried shallots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Save the oil used to fry the shallots in a separate airtight container for stir-frying or another purpose.
