What is put in fried shallot oil? What seasoning is put in fried shallot oil?

We all know that scallion oil is a kind of fragrant cooking oil. It is made by frying scallions. It tastes super fragrant. It can be used to make many delicious foods and is deeply loved by people. There are certain skills in frying scallion oil, especially the choice of ingredients. So what spices are put in frying scallion oil? Let's take a closer look!

What's in the fried onion oil?

Add some peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon to the fried shallot oil. Of course, don't forget to add the shallot. Season with the right amount. Don't add too much, as it will backfire.

In addition to scallions, many chefs now add onions and scallions to fried scallion oil. You can also add other ingredients such as ginger, onion, coriander and some spices such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc. to make the scallion oil more fragrant.

There are also certain requirements for the order of adding ingredients when making scallion oil. Because these raw materials have different heat resistance levels, the order of adding them is also important. If you add them all in at once, some of the seasonings will be fried and burnt, while some of the seasonings will not even have any fragrance, which would be not good.

When making scallion oil, you should add oil first, and then add star anise, cinnamon and other spices and ginger slices. Heat it over medium-low heat to let the spices and ginger have a little fragrance, then add onions, and then add green onions and garlic. If you want to add coriander, add it last because coriander is the least heat-resistant. But in the process of making scallion oil, you should always stir these ingredients with a spatula to make them heat evenly and not stick to the pot.

You can wash all these materials in advance, dry them and set them aside to avoid being in a hurry.

What oil to use for frying onions

I believe that many friends have been stumped about what oil to choose for making scallion oil. In the past, people liked to use rapeseed oil when making scallion oil from wheat, thinking that the rich rapeseed oil would better bring out the aroma of scallion, ginger and spices. But in the end, I met a lot of friends who love cooking. After everyone’s sharing and improvements, everyone agreed that the scallion oil made with the combination of salad oil + peanut oil is the most fragrant.

If you want a more fragrant oil flavor, you can refine some chicken oil and mix it with salad oil, which will make the taste richer.

Whether it is chicken oil or peanut oil, the ratio should be controlled at 1:2 (peanut oil: salad oil) when added to salad oil, because chicken oil and peanut oil are used to enhance the flavor. If the amount is too large, the scallion oil may turn black in color.

How to make fried onion oil

1. Ingredients required: shallots, celery, coriander, purple onions, garlic, ginger slices, star anise. Restaurants will add other spices, but if you make it at home, you don’t need to prepare other spices. The above spices are enough.

2. Cooking method: Heat three-quarters of cooking oil in a pot, put all the spices into the pot after the oil is hot, and fry the shallots, celery, and coriander until they are slightly black. Then remove all the spices and pour the oil into a container to cool for later use. The material oil can be stored for a long time, so it is recommended to cook more at a time.

3. Note: Keep the celery leaves on. Lightly pat the garlic and put the skin into the pot. Fry over low heat throughout the process.
