Notes
Storage: Because this recipe contains dried garlic and onion in oil, refrigerate rather than store at room temperature. Store in a clean, airtight glass jar and use within 1 week. Always use a clean utensil when serving and return the jar to the refrigerator after use.
Stir before serving: The salt and sugar do not dissolve in the oil and will settle to the bottom. Stir the chili onion crunch well before each use to evenly distribute the ingredients.
