Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp Hot Sauce Family/Restaurant Size 23.63 Oz (670g) Pack of 2

I failed to read the product description properly and was pleasantly surprised when a ginormous 23 oz jar arrived. This is the best chili crisp, perhaps the best condiment, I have ever had! My jar arrived sealed, fresh and absolutely perfect. It’s adds savory, gently zippy, tingly heat to anything. It’s salted perfectly, has crunchy bits of fried chilies and soybeans, and is just generally amazing. Perhaps it is the msg that makes it so addictive, maybe it’s the Szechuan pepper? I don’t know, but I love it. It’s incomparable.

Amazing taste, soo good you'll be thinking about food to eat with it! The chili oil quickly becomes the main attraction to whatever dish you add it into. Packaged amazingly well and sealed properly. Spice level: Weak, this like mild taco bell hot sauce, no sting to it, more of a slow burn in the background. I was hoping the spicy flavored version would offer more punishment. Versatile! It's great with Asian foods, dumplings, noodles, rice -but also- Pizza, eggs, pasta, or soup, even over veggies - omg. Yes, an amazing bang for your buck. This stuff belongs in every kitchen, enjoy.

I was looking for that spicy chili stuff they have in dim-sum restaurants. The local Asian grocery stores have 127 varieties, and I have no idea what to get. Somewhere I saw a recipe that called for "chili crisp sauce", and it sounded like it might work. I ordered this stuff off Amazon, though I had been told it wasn't like the chili sauce I was looking for. So, imagine my delight when it turned out to be FANTASTIC for dim-sum! It's definitely spicy, but not burn-your-mouth spicy, and it's super flavorful. I used up my first jar, and I've just received my second.

I’ve tried a lot of chili oils, but nothing compares to Lao Gan Ma. This big restaurant-size jar is perfect because once you start using it, you’ll realize how fast the smaller jars disappear. The flavor is that perfect balance of heat, crunch, and umami — it’s not just spicy for the sake of being spicy. There’s real depth from the fried chili flakes, garlic, and crunchy soybeans. I put it on everything — rice, noodles, eggs, dumplings, even pizza. It instantly makes plain food taste like something from a restaurant. The spice level is medium in my opinion — enough to wake up your taste buds but not overpowering. It’s also nice that it’s not too oily compared to other chili crisps I’ve tried. You get a lot of those crunchy bits that everyone loves. The jar itself is huge and will last a long time, even if you use it daily like I do.

Tasty and a good price.
