Crispy Fried Shallots Recipe

These crispy shallots are another delicious garnish that enhances just about everything. They will keep 3-4 weeks in an airtight container, so it is work making a large quantity. In Vietnam the thinly sliced fresh shallots would be spread out in single layer and dried in the sun for several hours, which shortens the amount of frying time.
