Bawang goreng is an Indonesian crispy fried shallot condiment, commonly deep-fried, and a popular garnish to be sprinkled upon various dishes of Indonesian cuisine.[1] It is quite similar to a crisp fried onion.[2]

Ingredients

Compared to onions, shallots are much smaller in size and more intense in color — purplish red, locally known as bawang merah (lit. "red onion") in Indonesia.[1] Shallots are thinly sliced and deep fried in plenty of cooking oil until golden crisp. They are often placed in a tight glass jar for next use.[3]
