Its also called Chilli Crisp. Every time i search it I come across crisps. It's on Amazon UK but expensive and not much stock. I'm in Naas, any stores that do it? Thanks

I came across it from this article

Seems kind of similar to a rayu. I make a peanut one all the time.

You'll find the Lao Gan Ma version in any Asian shop in the country, pretty much.

Yep. All of these are good but the crispy chilli oil is like crack cocaine.

+1 for the Lao Gan Ma. Addictive stuff!

I always think on a fried egg (or poached, or plain omelette) is a great test of a chilli sauce. If you like eggs.

Sorry about sideways. But I got this, thinking it was it. Jesus it's hot 🔥.. Is the chilli crisp one spicy? Or is it more about the flavor. This one I tried in pic with sausage roll, it's just Chilli in a jar really, but nice for spice. A spec of it is enough on anything.

chilli crisp is more umami than spicy, imo.

although my tolerance for heat has increased a lot in the last 15 years.

OK I need to go on the hunt again for Chilli Crisp.

The Lao Gan Ma has the old woman/Godmother face on it.

Also though, the Lee Kum Kee Chilli and Garlic sauce is lovely. Very garlicky. Worth picking that up too. Do you live in a city with Chinese or Asian shops nearby?

I always find that stuff to be bitty and hard rather than crispy - bitter too. I don't get the love for the stuff.

Oh I got the garlic and chilli one too, haven't opened it yet though. Will try it this weekend and let you know.

I know what you mean about it being bitty TBR, I think it's more the aroma really, smells like cheese & onion Tayto.
