I guess the trend is to call it “chilli crisp” now, but I still call it crispy chilli oil.

I’ve not done hard drugs before, but if I could feel what a bad addiction is, this is it. I could spoon it straight from the jar.

Been sick the last few weeks. This isn’t spicy enough to clear my nose, but it is still delicious despite my muted senses.

Can be made vegetarian using vegetable stock powder.

      I know what you mean. What’s even more infuriating is when one or both of two things happen:

      1. There’s not “Skip to recipe” button; and/or

      2. In the recipe, they refer to the 5-page blurb.

      A recipe should be able to stand on its own without having to read the blurb.

      But I did read at some point in the last few years is that Google or search engines in general “look” at these blurbs and they get bumped to the top or something. I didn’t read much in to it.

    I’ve tried just about all the commercially available ones, and I’m not quite satisfied.

    Time to make my own!

      Same. Some swear by Lao Gan Ma, but for some reason, it makes my stomach feel funny.

      This homemade one is by far the best I remember having, and I’ve had quite a few. I’ll be heading off to Malaysia in about a month, so I’ll report back if I find anything.

        Fly by Jing extra spicy is the only one I use regularly now, but it’s too expensive to use as often as I’d like.

        Please do share your findings!

          I’ve not yet tried Fly by Jing for that very reason. Unsure if I will bite the bullet to try it now that I’ve found this recipe.

          I’ve seen brands like Umami Papi, Momofuku (heard some good things about it, but also not willing to part with that much money), and Chotto Motto. Have not tried any.

          I approved a food business mid last year and the guy swore by this one brand that I can’t seem to find online. Said that he was friends with the owner, and I think it was a really small business at the time, not sure now. I’ll post here when I’m able to find it.

          If you get a chance to make this chili oil, let me know what you think in comparison to Fly by Jing, so I’ve got something to work with when I’m over in Malaysia!

      It’s super easy. Takes just over an hour and a quarter with all of the waiting time. I spent the most time on measuring out the ingredients. Everything else was just waiting.

      I’ve done other recipes, but I think I like this one the best so far. I just need to play with it to kick up the sichuan tingle a bit more without throwing out the flavour too much.

    I need some for my burritos for tomorrows lunch. Can you airdrop some to Colombia?
