Preparation
- Thinly slice garlic and shallots. They should be as even as possible, you can use a knife or a mandoline if you're very careful.
- Pour oil into a sauce pan then add your garlic and shallots. Turn up the heat to med-high and continue to stir until they start to brown then set aside. You will see bubbling and this might take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on temperature.
- While the garlic and shallots are cooking, mix Gochugaru Chilli Flakes, sugar, and salt into a heat proof container. We use stainless steel because the high temperatures might cause cracks in glass.
- Once the shallots and garlic are done cooking, heat up the same oil up to 350*F and then pour it over the Gochugaru mixture.
- Add soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, and the crispy shallots and garlic. Mix and enjoy!

Hi BonJon,
this is an excellent question. while it should be okay at room temp for a few weeks, we recommend that you keep it in the fridge so that it has a longer shelf life.

Am wondering how long this will keep at room temperature? Or should it be refrigerated, and if so, how long will it keep in the fridge?
