FLYBYJING Xtra Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp: Premium Chili Oil w/Crunchy Garlic and Shallots - Spicy, Savory, Vegan, Sugar Free Hot Sauce - Good on Noodles, Proteins, Veggies & Anything, 6oz (Pack of 1)

First things first, let's be clear that I'm comparing this to the more ordinary "Lao Gan Ma" (at least I'm trusting that that's the correct name) chili crisp I can get at the store, and understand that to me, that's a perfectly fine chili crisp. There's a little texture, a little crunch, some nice warm heat - I like it. I'm a fan.This is an entirely different experience. "Better" is up to you, but for me, yeah.First of all, it's less a chili *crisp* than it is a chili *chew* if we're gonna name it after texture. There's less of a crunch than there is the feel of the preserved beans giving you a little resistance when you hit one. That's not a complaint, but it was a bit of a surprise. I definitely wasn't expecting that. Not unpleasant, though, as the texture's been welcome in anything I've used it in.It's also demonstrably hotter, and a greater percentage of oil. The brand I'm used to, there's a jar full of crisp with a fraction of an inch of oil on top, so you can get a mix in every serving, the jar I got here was almost half oil. It was a little disappointing, but not a huge complaint as the oil itself is spicy and flavorful, carrying a good bit of the umami from those beans, too. And it's definitely spicier than my usual. Not comically so, but enough that it required a little adjustment regarding what I thought I'd be tasting when I first tried it.The main difference, though, is the flavor. Normal chili crisp - for me - is just about adding a little crunch and a little heat. This avoids the crunch almost entirely, packs a little extra heat, and a ton of rich flavor. I still won't be putting it on ice cream in the near future, but I've found that for me it's at its best on tacos. Something I previously wouldn't have bothered putting my old chili crisp on since it'd be redundant, but with this, it really works.Putting it over melted cheese, crostinis that I'm having with soup, adding to salad, tacos - as mentioned, even putting a big blob over a fried egg on some ramen - NOTHING I've tried it with has been anything less than spectacular. Will purchase again without a moment's hesitation.

As the title states, Fly By Jing is nothing short of amazing. This is the only chili crisp I have ever tried and I honestly cannot recommend it enough!The container does sometimes not come fully sealed. SOMTIMES. But other than the occasional leaking, which is typically a very small amount. Still recommend the product highly.The smell is amazing, I think if I were to have it anywhere near me I’d be able to point it out instantly.Texture is great as well, you can either get a scoop of just the oil, or both the oil and crisps. The crisps have a not so crispy texture but rather an almost al dente type of bite that hides perfectly in any dish. It’s not that hot at all, if you’ve tried Samyung/fire noodles you’ll definitely live through this.This post was primarily to get the attention of the seller, after working a long night I get home, eager to find a package waiting. I didn’t notice due to it being night, but whoever delivered it ever so kindly did nothing to repair the damages caused to the outer box during shipping. Without noticing and just feeling the box it was shipped in was flimsy, I walk through my door just for it to smash on the ground. I tried looking through the options for inquiring about replacing and Amazon sends you through an amazing loop to keep you preoccupied without progress. Please if you can reach out I would love to reconcile the situation.Again I cannot recommend Fly By Jing enough, it is so insanely versatile it can go on about anything. (PB, blue berry bagel & the oil) - it’s like a Thai inspired bagel lol

I keep buying this! Mix this with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and peanut butter for an excellent dipping sauce for meat. It's hot on its own, but delicious mixed with the above.Really great product. Price on Amazon is good, I have price checked across a couple competitors. For leakage there is a little for some reason but it's easily solved, just keep a paper towel folded beneath it.

I’ve tried maybe two or three other brands of chili crisp and this by far is my favorite, as far as taste and ingredients go. I also love the back story about the product and the creator. However the amount of oil in this is such a Debbie downer especially because it’s one of the more expensive ones on the market. We have to strain the chili bits so much- if you try to just raw dog a spoonful out of the jar it will ruin most food because of the oil content. I try to find a use for the oil while cooking other things but I end up throwing so much of it out which feels incredibly wasteful. I’ve tried all three flavors- the OG is my favorite and we buy it regularly, the spicy one is good just a bit too spicy for me but my mans loves it lol. The crunchy one is alright? Just seems like it’s missing something but it’s not gross or anything? It doesn’t have tons of flavor and I feel like I can taste mostly oil but I do like the soy beans- probably just won’t buy that kind again. In conclusion I think it’s worth a try, just be prepared for a lot of oil.
