I was thinking if not RE- hydrated, what about as is? I pour the hot oil over the dehydrated shallot and garlic along with the dried chilies, spices,peanuts, and add pulverized dried mushroom for mushroom powder. I hope to try a small batch and share the results.
And yes, I want to try the fried shallots at my Asian market, but that doesn’t address my surplus of dried shallot, garlic, mushrooms and peppers.
