Instructions
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the chopped shallots/red onion and fry until golden brown, (no need to make brown and crispy, a bit of white parts are fine). Remove using a slotted spoon or spider ladle and transfer to a bowl or plate.
- Next, add the crushed garlic in the same oil. Use a slotted spoon or spider ladle to prevent oil from splashing. Cook until golden. Once done, remove from oil and add to the fried shallots/onions.
- Turn the heat to the lowest setting just to keep the oil hot. You can also just turn it off if it is still hot and you can do the next step quickly.
- Place the fried ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add ½ cup oil. Blend until they are cut into very tiny bits.
- Turn the heat off of the stove. Add the chili flakes and Gochugaru, it will bubble up for the first seconds. Once it subsides add vinegar and brown sugar to the hot oil and stir just several times.
- Carefully add the blended ingredients back to the oil. Add salt, and soy sauce Stir continuously for half a minute and then only from time to time until it cools down. Most of the solids will turn dark which is expected.
- Transfer to jar/s and use as needed. No need to refrigerate.
Notes
- Note 1: If using dried whole chilis instead, very quickly fry the dried chilis in the hot oil after the garlic just until it starts to turn brown, remove from the oil and add to the rest of the fried ingredients. Watch carefully so that they do not burn. If the space is not enough then do this in 2 batches.

- Note 2: Korean chili flakes will add a reddish color to the oil but if unavailable, just use 1 cup of chili flakes and add some paprika powder for color, if desired. You can also use other dried sweet peppers to tame the spiciness.
