Homemade Chili Crisp Recipes

SHRIMP AND NOODLES WITH CHILI CRISP SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix shrimp with salt and baking soda; let sit for 15 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili crisp, gochujang, and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Drain spaghetti. Rinse shrimp with cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Warm oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink and opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallions and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Pour the chili crisp sauce over the shrimp. Mix in the cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated.

CHILE CRISP

Steps:

• Combine the oil, onion, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chiles, sesame seeds and Sichuan peppercorns, if using, and sizzle, stirring, for 1 minute, then stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Spoon over everything. It adds big flavor to milder bases, such as eggs, tofu, noodles, rice, vegetables, white fish, lean pork and chicken breast.

CHILI CRISP SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of generously salted water. Once boiling, cook pasta to al dente (according to package directions). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and set aside.
• Return pasta pot to medium-high heat. Add in the chili crisp, butter, and garlic. Once the butter has melted, add the scallions and sauté until sizzling and a slightly golden (about 1 minute).
• Slowly add in the pasta water, a little bit at a time, stirring quickly so that it absorbs into the chili mixture and forms a sauce.
• Add the cilantro and pasta and toss until the spaghetti is well-coated. Salt the pasta to taste and serve immediately.

CHILI CRISP FRIED EGG BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the chili crisp to the skillet and swirl until it is all hot and coating the skillet.
• Working with one egg at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and then into the skillet. Season the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are fully cooked but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chili crisp to a large bowl. Whisk in the rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice and baby kale and toss until everything is coated. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each rice bowl with a fried egg and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE CHILI CRISP

Steps:

• Bring oil, shallots, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium saucepan. Continue simmering, swishing oil around occasionally, until garlic and shallots are browned, about 20 minutes.
• Mix red pepper flakes, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, mushroom powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Strain shallot mixture through a fine mesh sieve over the ginger-pepper flake mixture. Let garlic and shallot pieces cool in sieve before stirring back into the infused oil. Pour into a glass container with a top and chill until ready to use.

CHILI CRISP WITH OATS

Steps:

• To make the chili crisp, place the shallots, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, oats, coconut flakes, sesame seeds, chile flakes and oils in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, swirling the pan every now and then, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes until everything is crispy.
• Strain the oil through a sieve over a bowl and leave the oat mixture to cool in the sieve-this will allow it to crisp up further. Set the oil aside. Once the crispy oat mixture is completely cool, stir it back into the oil and season with the sea salt. Leave the cinnamon stick in the oil, as it will continue to flavor it. Store the chili crisp in a sterilized jar. It will keep well for several months.
