Chili Crisp Fried Egg Bowl Recipes

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.

CRISPY CHILI OIL-FRIED EGGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chili oil: Add the shallot, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and peanut oil to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 215-225°F (101-107°C). Simmer for 30 minutes, until the aromatics are golden brown, but not burnt. The oil should be gently simmering, with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. If the oil gets too hot or the aromatics start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.
• Add the Sichuan red chili flakes and Chinese five-spice powder to a medium, heatproof bowl. Place a fine-mesh strainer over the bowl. Carefully pour the hot oil through the strainer over the chili flakes and discard the aromatics left behind. Stir in the salt until dissolved. Let the chili oil cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. The chili oil will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
• Make the egg skillet: In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of chili oil over medium heat until sizzling. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with kosher salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk doneness. Carefully tilt the skillet to distribute the chili oil around the eggs and use a spoon to baste the eggs with the oil.
• Remove the skillet from heat and top the eggs with the dill, scallions, and flaky sea salt. Serve with toasted bread.
• Enjoy!

CHILE-CRISP CHICKPEA RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rice rest, covered, until ready to eat. (Alternatively, cook rice in a rice cooker or however you like to cook rice.)
• While the rice cooks, make the chickpeas: Add the chile crisp to a large (12-inch), nonstick skillet and heat over medium. (Make sure there is enough oil - not just solids - covering the bottom of the skillet. If your chile oil is mostly solids, add a little neutral oil to cover to skillet.)
• Add the chickpeas and a pinch of sugar, stir to coat in the oil, then spread into an even layer. Cook until the chickpeas start to sizzle, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp all over, 7 to 10 minutes more. If the pan looks dry at any point, add a drizzle of neutral oil (or more chile crisp if you want it really, really spicy).
• While the chickpeas and rice cook, stir together the tomatoes, celery, celery leaves, cilantro, soy sauce and a pinch of sugar in a medium bowl.
• When the rice and chickpeas are ready, divide the rice among plates or bowls. Pour some of the liquid from the bowl of tomatoes over the rice, then top with the tomatoes and celery, the chickpeas and more chile crisp, if desired.
