Mae Sri Fried Shallot 200g

Mae Sri Fried Shallot (หอมเจียวทอด แม่ศรี, hom jiao thot mae si) is a ready-to-use crispy fried shallot from Mae Sri — one of the most essential finishing garnishes in Thai and broader Southeast Asian cooking. Fried shallots (hom jiao, หอมเจียว) are thinly sliced shallots deep-fried until golden, crispy, and caramelised — producing a garnish that is simultaneously sweet, savoury, and intensely aromatic, with a satisfying crunch that adds both texture and flavour to any dish they are sprinkled over. They are used as a finishing garnish across an enormous range of Thai dishes — from soups and noodle dishes to rice dishes, salads, and stir-fries — as well as across Vietnamese, Chinese, and broader Southeast Asian cuisines. Mae Sri’s fried shallots are ready to use straight from the pack, requiring no peeling, slicing, or frying. The 200 g pack is a generous household format suited to regular use.
