Step 1

Thinly slice garlic and shallots. They should be even and look like this.

Step 2

Pour oil into a sauce pan then add your garlic and shallots. Turn up the heat to med-high and continue to stir until they start to brown then set aside. You will see bubbling and this might take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on temperature.

Step 3

While the garlic and shallots are cooking, mix both red chili flakes, sugar, salt, and MSG into a heat proof container. I use stainless steel because the high temperatures might cause cracks in glass.

Step 4

Once the shallots and garlic are done cooking, heat up the same oil up to 350F and then pour it over the red chili mixture.

Step 5

Add soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, and the crispy shallots and garlic. Mix and enjoy!
