Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp Hot Sauce – Restaurant Size 23.63 oz (670g) – Authentic Chinese Chili Oil with Crunchy Bits

This chili crisp is pure flavor magic in a jar. It’s the perfect balance of heat, umami, and crunch—spicy enough to wake up your taste buds, but not so overpowering that it drowns out your food. The crispy bits add this amazing texture that makes every bite more exciting.I’ve put it on eggs, noodles, pizza, rice bowls, dumplings, avocado toast—you name it, it’s better with chili crisp. It turns the simplest meal into something chef-level. The oil is rich and fragrant, with deep savory notes that make you wonder how you ever lived without it.If you’re a fan of bold flavors, this belongs in your pantry. Warning: once you open the jar, there’s no going back. You’ll be spooning it on everything.

This stuff is AMAZING. Most importantly, the flavour is unbelievable. It's got a gentle heat (I'd call it mild to medium spice), it's LOADED with crunchy bits, but it's the umami that really sings. I've been putting this on EVERYTHING....any "Asian-adjacent" dish, but also salads, eggs, veg, whatever. Kick up your instant ramen, flavour your rice, bring new life to your burger; this stuff is seriously addictive and versatile. And the fact that you get a HUGE jar for like $14 is just icing on the cake. Delicious, spicy, garlicky, icing.

This stuff is so good !! It has an amazing savory taste that’s almost addictive. It’s mostly medium on the heat factor, not too spicy but just enough.I add this to anything I can but it goes great with ramen noodles, shrimp, and scallions. 👍😍I will be buying this as long as they make it.

This chili crisp oil is incredible. It transforms simple grilled chicken into a hair-raising (because of the heat) experience.I love the different flavors you get in each spoonful, and every bite gets you different textures of the peanut and taro and other ingredients. The heat level is not high.This jar is a very good value for the money. At some Asian or specialty markets you would pay more per ounce for those smaller jars... and you would want to buy more right away anyway, because this stuff is addictive.This was shipped well packed, and there was no leakage from the jar.

Bright red, and almost glows in the dark. But actually, not quite as spicy as expected.Just use a little more than you thought necessary.My opinion: If it doesn't make your nose run, it's too bland.

Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp is a flavor bomb that adds heat, crunch, and deep umami to anything it touches. This isn’t just a topping, no no my friend, it’s a transformation. Stir it into ramen, spoon over avocado toast, mix into fried rice, or drizzle on roasted sweet potatoes for a sweet-spicy contrast. It even elevates seared steak or grilled tofu. The texture is addictive, the heat is balanced, and the complexity makes it feel like you’ve added hours of flavor-building in seconds. An absolute must-have in my household!!

This stuff is delicious. It is very umami, I use it lightly to be more umami, but the heat is buildable, just add more. I didn't taste any sweetness, which a different reviewer had mentioned. It was very well packaged, but was a little greasy upon arrival. No issues once the bottle was wiped.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the real deal and the best size for my household. The small jars found in grocery stores don't last long. Maybe because I can eat this by the spoonful! A spoonful on rice with canned tuna (in oil) and topped with minced scallions is my go to comfort food. The taste, texture, and heat level are in comparable to the brand X's that are jumping on the Lao Gan Ma bandwagon.
