Crispy Shallots

  1. Slice shallots super thin, and mandoline works great, put in a large bowl and toss with the flour
  2. Heat about an inch and a half of oil in a medium pot to 350 degrees
  3. Combine salt & 5 spice in a small bowl - mix well
  4. Shake off excess flour from shallots, and carefully put in the oil
  5. Stir to separate and cook until they just start turning golden brown - it can happen fast so get ready to remove to paper towels, thenn dust woith the 5 spice salt
