Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp - 16oz Extra-Large Jar

tamir: I actually wasn’t sure how I’d like this. I’m a picky eater and adorer of HOT and spicy food. Chinese food isn’t my fav, I’m not big on the sweet and savory dishes local spots offer but I do like savory dishes like fried rice and lo Mein when a craving hits. If you’re anything like me, you find both of those dishes from the local Chinese place to be kind of one dimension and uninspiring, flavor wise. I always saw this item on Amazon but never thought about trying it until a lo mein craving hit Me.. hard. As lo mein lacks flavor for me, I purchased this and it came later that day. when it arrived, I bought some lo mein, tried it on top of my noodles and good godddd is this delicious. It’s complex. I can’t describe the flavor at all, it’s very strange but delicious. It goes great on all Chinese food but let me tell y’all where it SHINED!!! One night, I made a huge pot of white rice and said forget it and ordered pizza, put it in the fridge. Few days later I found a seasoning packet for fried rice in my pantry and remembered I had a bag of mixed veggies, Eggs, and tamari in my fridge and to my delight I made some fried rice with that seasoning packet using my...

Spaceghost: I've been looking for a good hot chili oil or sauce with Sichuan peppercorns for a long time and am buying this one for for the third time in 6 weeks. It is very oily and less like other chili crisps, but it's really good. Not too hot to use a couple teaspoons on eggs, but will definitely make me sweat after after a meal. Packed with flavor.

Kathy Y.Kathy Y.: Fly By Jing's chili crisp makes me feel like a chef in my own kitchen. I like to make fast and easy recipes on weeknights which leads to boring dishes (e.g., roasted chicken and veggies, fried eggs, simple salad, etc.), but this chili crisp drizzled on top makes any meal instantly more interesting. For example, on my roasted delicata squash in this picture, the chili crisp adds an amazing umami kick and crunchy texture to the sweet and mushy squash. I've also drizzled some in my mixed nuts (especially amazing with cashews), on toast or any bland carb, and Greek yogurt (chili crisp on dairy is amazing). I can't take a ton of spicy, but with this jar, I can dial up or down the heat by the amount of pepper (the "crunch") I add.

Compared to other popular chili crisps (Momofuku, for example), the Fly By Jing one has more umami and actual deep and subtle flavors. I've tried other Fly by Jing products as well, and my other favorite is the Zhong sauce. Less spicy, and more sweet, and TON of umami. I also put Zhong sauce on anything, and have mixed the Zhong sauce and chili crisp together because they add different textures and flavors.

Reader #666: I live in part of California away from big cities, so Asian goods are not something easy to obtain. Growing up in the Bay Area, I could run to Chinatown and get whatever I wanted easily and cheaply. Not so nowadays! Read about this sauce and liked that the chilis are from Sichuan, an area known for spicy cuisine. Great flavor, just what I wanted but this little jar is going to get used up in no time. I would think a small jar like this would sell for six or seven bucks and a bigger one, like 16 ounces for maybe twenty. A little pricey, but very tasty. Think I'll get some Mongolian beef and try some on that next!

A.V.A.V.: UPDATE: The seller reached out and offered a refund. I refused because I did not want to take money away from a small business owner. However they refunded me anyway. I cannot say enough good things about the owners. They are truly honest and kind people with a generous heart and it was much appreciated! A rare commodity on Amazon. I gave the 2nd jar to my sister and she actually loved it. She likes salty and spicey, so it depends upon the consumer. If you love spicey stuff with that "umami savory" taste (that certain "something" that makes a savory dish taste yummy), then I think this would be for you. We've been using it on our morning eggs and we like that the best, it's perfect with eggs. :-)

I had too high hopes for this after seeing a report on a morning show about it. I had never heard of chili crisp and it sounded fantastic, and the small business that owns it seemed like good people. So I wanted to test it out. Could only find it in a local Target store, but it was very pricey. Amazon charged the same price but at least it was for 2 jars instead of one. Many reviewers said that the texture was oily and to make sure you stir it well (which I did). It was good on...
