Introducing the irresistible Wesson Chili Crisp; a homemade delicacy that captures the essence of Sichuan cuisine with a spicy kick and a delightful crunch. Crafted with 1/3 cup of Wesson Corn Oil as its base, this artisanal condiment brings together a symphony of flavors and textures.

At its heart are whole dried red chilis, crushed to perfection, infusing the oil with a fiery intensity that tingles the taste buds. Thinly sliced shallots and garlic lend their savory depth, while minced ginger adds a refreshing zing.

The distinctive Sichuan peppercorns deliver a unique numbing sensation, balanced by the warm earthiness of whole cumin seeds and the sweet fragrance of star anise. A hint of sugar enhances the flavors, while a touch of fine salt ensures the perfect seasoning.

Versatile and bold, Wesson Chili Crisp is not just a condiment but a culinary adventure. Whether drizzled over noodles or rice, on Wesson Fried Chicken Sliders, or used as a dipping sauce, each spoonful promises a burst of authentic Sichuan flavors that will elevate your dining experience.

Ingredients

Wesson Chili Crisp
Wesson Corn Oil 1/3 cup.
Dried Red Chilis, whole 1 cup.
Shallot, thinly sliced 1 cup.
Garlic, thinly sliced 6 cloves.
Ginger, minced 1 tbsp.
Sichuan Pepper, whole 1/4 tsp.
Cumin, whole 1/4 tsp.
Sugar 1 tsp.

Method

Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until shallots and garlic are golden brown and oil is no longer bubbling, about 5-10 minutes depending on the oil temperature. Tip: To avoid burning the shallots and garlic you can use a lower heat – crisping the shallots and garlic will just take a little longer. Using a slotted spoon remove shallots and garlic and transfer to a heat proof bowl. Heat the oil to about 300°F-350°F, use a thermometer to check this temperature. Pour hot oil over chili and spice mixture. Stir well to combine. Let cool to room temperature then stir in the crispy shallots and garlic.
