- There are many uses for fried shallots. Fried shallots make a dish extra flavourful while shallot oil is a great alternative as an aromatic cooking oil.

In Asian cooking, fried shallots are added to rice, porridge, vegetables and many other savoury dishes. Fried shallots are not only used to add flavour but also as garnishing.
I used to think that it is quite a hassle to fry shallots because a lot of times, they do not turn out crispy and do not have a long shelf life. If you are looking for a guide on how to prepare the crispiest fried shallots, I have listed all the tips here for a guaranteed successful result. Crispy fried shallots are very easy to prepare especially if you closely follow the tips given. If you have been purchasing fried shallots from the supermarket all these while, stop right now because you do not need to anymore. Furthermore, your mind will be at peace knowing that there is no preservative in this dish.
Before frying the shallots, there are a few things to note in ensuring the crispiest and most delicious fried shallots. Shallots must be cut into thin slices but not too thin or the shallot slices would burn very quickly and would not be flavourful. If you want to be very precised, the shallots should be cut into slices of about 0.2 cm thick. The thickness of the shallot slices should also be uniformed. Otherwise, some of the shallots slices may cook faster than the rest resulting in a batch of unevenly fried shallots.
Sliced shallots must be soaked in salt water to reduce the amount of moisture in the shallots. By doing so, the fried shallots would be even crispier. However, it is advisable not to soak the shallots for too long or they may lose their flavour. To prevent the oil from splashing, lightly pat dry the shallots before frying.
Sprinkling some corn flour on the shallot slices would also ensure that the shallots turned out really crispy. It is highly recommended to fry the shallots in batches and to ensure that enough oil is used when frying the shallots. Once the fried shallots are ready and had cooled to room temperature, store them in a bottle and placed it at a cool area. As mentioned in the video, they can be kept for up to a month.

I’ve made this with olive oil and it not only doesn’t taste of olive, but it is much, much healthier than vegetable oil.
you have the cutest voice haha I love it.
This looks like a good alternative to fried onion rings. Did you just use straight vegetable oil? And how long can you store the shallot oil?
Yes, I did :) You can store the oil up till two months or unless it goes rancid.
Hi Grace, would big red onion work as well?
I think it could work but you've got to slice them thinly. Doesn't hurt to experiment :)
Ur fried onion,xcerlen,bes of al!
De bes fried onion of al!
Great video ! This might seems silly . What can we cook with shallots oil ? :D
Firedooom a lot! It adds favor to the food, I love to use it in making wantan noodles!
And Orh Nee. You can't make Orh Nee without shallot Oil

May I buy you a slotted spoon?
Hi Grace, why do you soak the shallots in salt water? What will happen to the fried shallots if you skip this step? Thanks.
+DL hey, it makes the shallots sinply crispier. :) you can check out its logic and explanation on the website www.nyonyacooking.com/fried-shallots-and-shallot-oil
Is corn starch ok?, rather than corn flour?
Yes, corn starch is correct. - Admin
u should do a collab with meatmansg or something
Yes I wish there were large packets of fried shallots just like there’s large packets of potato chips!
There are! But never as delicious. Lots of preservatives too 😵

Grace, I see you cut a lot of shallots there. Is there any tips on how can I cut shallots without sacrificing my precious tears. LOL. It makes me avoid using shallots in my cooking
use a very sharp knife to cut shallots without tear
Ester Kilat Cut it without looking at them as much as possible if you can. Just be careful
I have to master the skills then. Thanks!
Does it mean I have to cut them very quickly?
cut close by to a low heat stove.
