FRIED SHALLOT OR GARLIC FLAKES
These are a very crisp and tasty topping or addition to everything from soups and salads to curries and stir-fries. You can find these commercially prepared in Asian markets, but you can't beat the taste of freshly homemade. I love them with seafood (trying serving crab over a bed of garlic flakes!)
