As far back as I can remember, we’ve always had a bottle of fried shallots sitting around in the fridge which we freely add to our noodles (soup or dry), fried rice, stirfried veggies, whatever we fancy actually. Its fragrance will spruce up any dish!!

I usually make a whole batch at a time and keep in an airtight bottle. Slice two cups of shallots (skin removed), not too thin if you want a bit of a bite. Heat up about two cups of cooking oil (or more if need be) and throw in the sliced shallots. You want to be careful not to burn the shallots, so turn your heat down to medium and allow the shallots to brown to a light golden color.

Drain off the oil and place fried shallots on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of months but we usually finish ours sooner. Now wasn’t that easy? You got that done even before you could finish calculating how much you saved on your discount supplements !
