    This looks great! I’ve been making chili crunch, which seems similar but the order is different. I fry shallots in avocado oil until crispy, and remove them, then fry garlic in the same oil and remove them. I put all the spices and chiles in a giant bowl, heat the oil to 375°F, then pour it over the spices and mix. After it cools, chop the fried shallots and garlic and add them back in. This has turned out amazing. My recipe also includes a good amount of chopped peanuts, and I use dried guajillo, pasilla, and morita peppers because I want it more flavorful than spicy. The Szechuan peppercorns are essential to getting the right flavor though

      After I finish this batch, I’ll be making chili crunch next. I’ve been seeing it used for a while and it sounds great.

      I’ll probably stay away from the Mexican dried peppers because I already eat a healthy amount of those :)
