Frying Shallots Thai Food Style

There is no recipe as such, it isn't really needed, but take a look at our frying shallots video tutorial for full guidance.

Preparation:

Firstly select your shallots and peel and slice them them nice and thin, about the thickness of a penny is fine

Cooking:

Heat your wok containing about a cup of oil to medium high heat

Test for temperature by dropping a small piece of sliced shallot into the hot oil, if it fizzles and sizzles, then it's hot enough

Chuck in the rest of the shallots and stir gently and continuously until they start to turn golden brown, some of the wispier bits will go darker brown and that's fine

Remove from the oil and leave to cool and drain to dry, when cool they should be light and slightly crunchy, see the perfection test in the frying shallots video

Serving Suggestion:

This is such a lovely refreshing and lightly flavoured garnish you can use it with any food, not just Thai food. Look out in our recipes to see how often it is used and where, we give a few examples in the video. One lovely recipe for you to see is Son in Laws Eggs Recipe

For the Best Results:

Members watch the video these instructions only give you about 5% of the information available in the video. In fact the only thing the video can't show you is the smell & taste, but hey? Try it and you'll smell it!!
