Prefer lao gan ma, or when I don't need the heat s&b chilli crunch. Fly by jin is good though don't get me wrong.
I put it on tons of stuff, any old meat, ramen, rice, fried tofu etc...
My favorite is a runny sunny side up egg on some sticky white rice topped with chilli crunch, soy sauce, scallions and maybe some sesame oil.
Love this stuff. Delicious and affordable. I put it on eggs, in rice, in ramen, on pizza, pretty much anything really. It's even fantastic on vanilla bean ice cream!
Too expensive, Lao Gan Ma is the OG and best bang for your buck IMO. I feel this brand, and a couple others hopped on the fried chili oil hype train and idk not my thing.
Love it on sardines. Too expensive though, now I buy the Chinese brand that’s everywhere (blanking on the name rn, dang it)
Edit: Lao gan ma! That’s it
Haven’t tried the extra spicy but I have a jar of the szechuan in my fridge right now and just ate some a half hour ago. I can tell you it doesn’t hold a candle to classic lao gan ma and even in the realm of pricier boutique chili crisp, kari kari is far superior—especially the garlic crisp with slices of very crunchy garlic in it. FBJ is not crispy and has more oil than most brands, which has its pros and cons, but imo chili crisp should not be chili oil with 1/3 of a jar of flaccid chili flakes in it.
I use something similar - Lao Gan Ma 'fried chili in oil' - in beans. I cook pinto beans in a pressure cooker with onion, garlic, and unsalted brothwater (2:1) and serve with a little mozarella sprinkled on top, along with nutritional yeast. Good stuff on it's own but a spoon of the fried chili in oil takes it beyond delicious.
I love that stuff. It's worked with everything I've tried it in. I never get it unless I find it marked down somewhere, though. That little jar is almost $20 near me.
I’d never tried chili crisp and bought this to try it out. Low key think it tastes terrible. It’s not the heat, it’s just the flavor.
Does all chili crisp taste similar?
I’ll have to. I was really excited to try it in general, so jing was a bummer. I’ll give that a solid shot before I decide it’s not for me. Thanks brother!
I love the spicy version, have not tried the XTRA spicy. I'm on my third jar. I use it mainly with Asian food, stir fry, ramen noodles, and other stuff. I buy the 16 oz. size for $28.
Can someone tell me why the price point on this is justified? How is it better than a solid chili crisp from an Asian market for $6.99? Fly costs like $12 a bottle here.
Better ingredients. The oil in Lao gan ma makes me feel sick when I eat a big serving, and the FBJ spices are pretty amazing. Is it worth it? Depends on budget or personal taste. It is to me.
I saw the advertising for it and was curious. Found it for $4 and tried it. It's pretty good, but I don't think I'll buy it again even at the lower price point. Stick with Lao Gan Ma or your other favorites
The go-to. Crunchy, flavorful, not usually too spicy for most of my friends. Also I am stingy with my homemade stuff. Gave some to a girl last year and now she asks for it all the time. Told her how to make it and she still asks. I really wish she didn't live so close.
Chili crisp is great on runny fried eggs (mostly for the oil and a few bits of chili), stirred into noodle dishes like ramen or lo mein…it’s just pretty magical In general
Eggs are the best. My go-to breakfast is a single egg omelette on toast with chili crisp on top.
I like fly by jing zhong sauce in their product line, and S&B garlic chili crisp for my oil. the other cheaper, more available brands work fine, but I have found love for the S&B.
Whatever discount brand I have contains some harder undesirable bits in there. Not sure if that’s a budget quality control thing or just the nature of chili crisp. Either way I think I need to step up a little higher end for the next jar
For something super simple it’s really good just on rice or rice noodles. My favorite though is putting it on a Singapore rice noodle dish that I make.
My wife loves for her eggs. Put a tad on pan heat up add eggs. Bamn. Sunny side up fried eggs

Love it. I put that sh*t on everything. Great on eggs and ramen.

Goes great with eggs, toast, ramen , rice

Just like hot sauce. Put on everything besides cereal.
I eat it on all kinds of stuff it’s delicious
it’s SO oily like if you spill it anywhere god be with you.
Chili crisp literally IS oil… and fried garlic and whatnot but mostly oil
I spilled mine, nearly the whole thing too....what a mess
I thought I'd use it on pizza but really the only thing I like it for is Ramen
Try it with some hummus and pita. Holy shit it rocked my world.
Sounds weird, but, Vanilla Ice Cream

I’m a fan of KariKari. It’s pricey, but far better than any others I’ve tried so far
It's an absolute delight
Eggs is my favorite but at 100 calories per tbsp. It’s a slippery slope
Scrambled eggs? Sardines/mackerel and rice? Fried chicken sandwich?
spoon some over deep fried Cthulhu bites or just about anything
Put on pizza.
Pretty good. Used as a marinade
I haven't had that brand but the brand I have is good on eggs and sardines.
I'm halfway through a jar. I like it. I've been putting it on fried rice mostly but just last week I added some to my Japanese curry. Hits the spot.
$14?
That’s how much momofuckyou costs and why I’ll never ever try it.
i enjoy it, good i use it on my eggs in the morning, or in some fried rice :D
It's too sweet. But I prefer the classic chili crisps, or the Mexicani Chili Crunch.
I use it as a sexual muse
I like the cut of your jib
The make a chili oil Szechuan hot sauce that I really like. Got it in a HEATONIST hot sauce box.
You can make a chili crisp yourself for cheaper and for probably just as good of flavor. I haven't had Fly By Jing thought, to be honest.
I put it on ice cream..
Costco was sampling it with ice cream
I understand that this is a thing but it grosses me out every time it’s brought up
Gives me diarrhea. Every single time. I eat plenty of spicy sauces, no prob. But something about this stuff goes right through me.
Thanks for sharing
It’s my way of giving back to the community
Over priced. But I’d still eat it from the jar
It's ok at best. Lots of better chili crisps
Just go with Lao Gan Ma
The OG The best
I love that stuff. It's worked with everything I've tried it in. I never get it unless I find it marked down somewhere, though. That little jar is almost $20 near me.
Same. Shit is expensive but so damn good.
Over rated
I take a tortilla, spread Philly with chives on it, then smear on the chili crisp and roll it up.
Use it to pan fry chicken thighs after marinating in lime
You can kill me for this I don't care, but this is the worst chili crisp I've tried
Saaame. The little bean things in there ruin it. I use the oil in ramen but that’s about it.
I have only ate it once but my first thought was it had that chili extract taste that shitty hot sauce has
100% came here to say the same. You can go to any Asian market anywhere and get chili crisp that’ll blow this crap away for ⅓ the cost.
I’d never tried chili crisp and bought this to try it out. Low key think it tastes terrible. It’s not the heat, it’s just the flavor. Does all chili crisp taste similar?
Nah bro not at all. Try Lao Gan Ma first, it's universally regarded as the best out there and it's one of the most affordable.
Thank you for the recommendation, will be ordering some.
I’ll have to. I was really excited to try it in general, so jing was a bummer. I’ll give that a solid shot before I decide it’s not for me. Thanks brother!
I'm a mega Jing hater. Angry grandma for the win dude
Put in pan and fry an egg over easy on top of it. Chilli oil fried eggs amazing
Everything
I like chili crisp on Mac and cheese
Mix it with mayo and spread on bread when having a sandwich
Bake a sweet potato and drop some of that on it like you would a regular baked potato & butter
Try it on an omelette or scrambled eggs
^^ this
I made a batch of Chili Mac and put a heaping spoon full of Chili Crisp on (after stirring it up).
It’s excellent on vanilla or chocolate ice cream!
Eggs & Pizza. Good flavor!
I love to mix it into my hummus.
That sounds euphoric 👌
I’ve had it. I’m a fan.
Scrambled eggs on sourdough little bit of dried shallots mix bacon throughout.
second this. especially when the egg is really crispy with a runny yolk
I love the spicy version, have not tried the XTRA spicy. I'm on my third jar. I use it mainly with Asian food, stir fry, ramen noodles, and other stuff. I buy the 16 oz. size for $28.
I put chili oil on my grilled cheese instead of butter or margarine
Just like mom used to make, extra crunchy!

Its not, just marketing.
That’s what I suspected, but I’ve never tried Fly so I was wondering if it was somehow completely amazing.
To be real I think I paid 7.99 for it. I wouldn’t have spent 12 on it lol
I was eating Lao Gan Ma on ritz crackers the other day. It's very versatile.
The go-to. Crunchy, flavorful, not usually too spicy for most of my friends. Also I am stingy with my homemade stuff. Gave some to a girl last year and now she asks for it all the time. Told her how to make it and she still asks. I really wish she didn't live so close.

I’m kinda thinking eggs for the first try of it actually
Eggs for sure. Turkey sandwiches. I put some on quinoa bowls and sometimes pizza.

Anything, really.
That’s kinda what it’s sounding like, if it’s good spicy it’s good with this. I’ll just have to try a bunch of different things
Found it on sale at Target last night for $10. It's so good.
I heard its good but overpriced.
It's good on pretty much anything. I put it on pizza more often than not!
Pizza is pretty much the food that I’ll try any hot sauce on
Fly by Jing is straight fire.
I feel like it'd be good with eggs
That's my favorite thing to put it on. Amazing on eggs, especially on hardboiled.
For something super simple it’s really good just on rice or rice noodles. My favorite though is putting it on a Singapore rice noodle dish that I make.
Noodles were my initial thought actually so I’ll definitely be doing that!
I mix it into soy or ponzu and eat it with dumplings
Ohhhh that sounds very good I’ll definitely try that
I grabbed one the other day, haven’t opened it.
Yeah it just sounds and looks good doesn’t it? 😂
Just waiting for the right moment.
