Noodles with crispy chilli oil eggs

This dish is all about the crispy chilli oil. I’ve been addicted to this stuff for ages, spooning it over everything from scrambled eggs to seared steaks. My obsession started with the Lao Gan Ma version (a Chinese brand you can find in large supermarkets, Asian food shops, or online), but making your own is easy and really satisfying. The crispy bit comes from garlic and shallots, which are sizzled until crisp. However, once submerged in oil, they only stay crispy for a day or two. You can add peanuts for extra crunch, although I prefer sesame seeds in mine. This, tossed through noodles and used to baste a crispy fried egg, is my comfort food de jour. Cassie Best
