Ingredients
- 8 - Garlic Cloves, Thinly Sliced
- 3 - Spring Onions (Scallions), White Part Only, Thinly Sliced
- ¼ Cup (40g) - Roasted Unsalted Peanuts, Roughly Chopped
- ⅔ Cup (150ml) - Sunflower Oil or Canola Oil, Safflower Oil, Light Peanut Oil

Method
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add in the sunflower oil, chilli flakes, garlic, spring onion (scallion) & long red chilli (if using). Mix & heat the oil until it starts to bubble (about 6 minutes).
- Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low, give it a good stir & allow to slowly fry for 14 to 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- 15 minutes later & the garlic is golden & crispy, remove it from the heat & place the pan onto a heat-resistant surface.
- Whilst still hot, add in toasted sesame oil, roasted & chopped peanuts, sea salt flakes & brown sugar. Mix to dissolve the salt & sugar then allow to cool down.
- Once cool, pour into a sterilised glass jar or airtight container. Dig in.
