Ingredients
- 200 grams dried dilis (anchovies)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon red or orange food color
- 1 cup oil
- 2-4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Place dried dilis in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat., combine water, sugar, chili powder, and food color. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture turns into a thick, caramel-like syrup.
- Pour the syrup into the bowl of dilis. Gently toss until all dilis are fully coated.
- Heat oil in a wok or wide pan over medium heat. Add dilis in batches and cook until crispy, stirring regularly. Do not overcook so it will not become bitter.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove dilis from the pan and transfer to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with sugar while still hot and toss.
- Transfer sweet and spicy dilis to a baking sheet and spread to completely cool and dry up a bit.
- Once cool, serve and enjoy.
