Momofuku Chili Crunch Recipe
  1. Slice shallots thinly, mince garlic, and measure spices into a heat-safe bowl.

  2. Combine neutral oil and sesame oil in a saucepan. Heat slowly on low until 230–250°F—shimmering but not smoking.

  3. Add shallots and garlic. Stir often for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and crisp. Avoid over-browning.

  4. Remove from heat. Carefully pour the hot oil through a fine strainer over the spice bowl. Stir to bloom spices.

  5. Mix in soy or tamari, vinegar, sugar or hot honey, and lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  6. Let cool fully. Transfer to a clean glass jar, ensuring solids are submerged in oil. Refrigerate.
