Description
Two preparations that serve as the universal garnish and flavour-enhancer of the Thai kitchen — golden, crisp slices of garlic (kratiem jiaw) and rings of shallot (hom jiaw), fried until gold and stored for use as a garnish over soups, rice, noodles, salads, and curries. They provide crunch, aromatic depth, and a deep savouriness (from the Maillard products of the fried allium) wherever they are scattered. A well-stocked Thai kitchen always has a container of each.
