Huabi Tao is a Chinese communist entrepreneur worth over 1 billion dollars. I’m not sure this how communism is meant to work, but I can’t argue with her results.
Ooooooof. yes. Got the big jar too, double ooooof.
Stir it up really good, all the way from the bottom up. The magical MSG crack crystals settle at the bottom and you gotta go gettem.
It's less of a *stir*, and more of an *excavation*.
I have a special chili oil spoon, that is shovel shaped. I push it straight down to the bottom, twist a bit to break it up, add a little angle, then slowly pull up. It's all in the wrist. You'll eventually get to be a professional, where you can do the *push-corkscrew-dig* technique in one fluid motion.
Yes, I'm serious.
i seriously need to master this because the bottom of my last jar was absolute heaven, and this current jar has been a letdown since then. i need to bring up more of that msg to make everything better again
Yeah, I just had some on leftover rice. It's the end of the jar, so it's already pretty concentrated. So damn good.
If you're in the US, look for the seasoning called "Accent". It's literally just MSG. People demonize it, but in small quantities and moderate use, it's completely fine as a food additive. I use it quite a bit.
That's actually a great reminder. I lived in an area for years that didn't have great access to Asian markets. I've since moved near some nice ones and just never thought to look. Thanks!
> I love this stuff, but it’s not spicy.
I love it too, and I agree that it's not spicy, but almost every single other person I've ever met in my life (100? 200?) thinks that it's spicy. There's probably a difference between "reddit" spicy and "normal person" spicy.
It’s more so used for its flavor/umami than its heat tbh with Chinese people. Chili crisps in general aren’t really spicy to begin with but still imparts a chili flavor along with the other spices and additives in them.
I didn't know there was a big jar of this to buy. It's not spicy at all, but it seems to go in everything. I've put it in chili, shredded beef, stir fry, sandwiches, nachos [mixed in the cheese sauce], and all kinds of other stuff.
Personally, I prefer the LGM "Chili Oil with Fermented Soybeans" and (though much more expensive per g) "Oil Chili Condiments w/ Mushroom", but to each their own. Usual use is as a rice topping for very quick meals.
You're going to think I'm crazy, but I love to mix this about 50/50 with peanut butter or almond butter. I drain the oil as much as I can first. Outstanding combo.
My honey and I went through the little jar in a week it’s so gooood but yes you gotta stir it up really good all the flavor packed crack crystals on the bottoms.
If you have a big Asian market nearby, I recommend trying the different versions. That one is definitely a savory MSG heavy one and it’s absolutely delicious, a classic. However, chili crisp is commonly made with spicier peppers and tingly Sichuan peppercorns. I highly recommend branching out and trying the various brands. I mixed a bunch of different brands too, and it had a good result.
I am not sure but my mum as a professional housewife in Hong Kong told me this one is tasty

It's good, but I prefer the Lee Kum Kee one: chiu chow oil

Absolutely not.
The correct one is “fried chili in oil”.
A lot of people get suckered in by the keyword spicy. This one isnt as spicy as “Fried chili in oil.”
Plus its got soybeans vs peanuts and peanuts are way tastier. Total comment chain fail here.
That being said…. They are both good and quite similar except for •Fried Chili in Oil” being a little better.
I have no idea but the hostage-style portrait tells me this stuff probably slaps
That's a man serious about his bidness.
Lmao that’s a lady
Wait, is it? For years I have thought it was a dude.
Yeah it’s the lady who owns the company.

From each according to his spice ability, to each according to his spice needs
Thays no lady! It's a man baby *
Reminds me of the Steven He joke about being the face of Beijing Corn
Ooooooof. yes. Got the big jar too, double ooooof. Stir it up really good, all the way from the bottom up. The magical MSG crack crystals settle at the bottom and you gotta go gettem.
Excuse me, I need to change my underwear
Umm so where's the oof? That's a win!
If you haven't busted a fat *oooooof* in a time of extreme pleasure, I don't know what to tell you.
They’re oof’ing with jealousy
Millennial oof, not gen z oof
how do you stir it \*safely\*, i try to get to the msg but chicken out bc that oil STAINS everything it touches

Alternatively, see if you have an asian market around you, they sell like 1 pound bags of msg for the same price as a tiny shaker of Accent-brand msg.
That's actually a great reminder. I lived in an area for years that didn't have great access to Asian markets. I've since moved near some nice ones and just never thought to look. Thanks!
Shake the jar really hard and store your jar upside down
You described this perfectly. It’s an excavation.
“They say he carved it himself…from a bigger spoon”
You know what's even worse? I actually have 3 chili oil spoons...
I hear dead robloxians
I love this stuff, but it’s not spicy.

r/spicycirclejerk
Lol agree. Gotta put it in perspective.
It’s more so used for its flavor/umami than its heat tbh with Chinese people. Chili crisps in general aren’t really spicy to begin with but still imparts a chili flavor along with the other spices and additives in them.
Yeah, the End Flatline is spicy. This is not...
I didn't find it too spicy but not bad if you want to try.
It’s not meant to be extremely spicy lol just a little kick
Makes sense. I add some Ghost and Sichuan peppers for the actual kicks. 😄
I add hotter chili oil to get the spice level up. Works like a charm
That sounds about right. If you’re on the higher scale of spicy, like myself, this stuff is just sweet to you.
Love this stuff. When I'm making wings, it's a great add-in to the ranch/blue cheese dressing served on the side.
Added it to some bbq sauce the other day and slapped it on some chicken legs I was grilling 💯
Mix this with sesame paste and a little black vinegar. Stir fry this sauce with noodles and some scallions. Thank me later.
I just got this and can't get enough. I suspect my asshole disagrees
try it with vanilla ice cream!
Oh shit. I don't even like ice cream that much, but now I have an excuse to put chili crisp on something else.
Absolutely addicted...I put in on everything from my pasta and noodle dishes to my avocado toast.

I like that one, it's not hot though. It has a nice oily chili taste.
Toss some of your favorite chili powder in
That’ll do ya.
Personally, I prefer the LGM "Chili Oil with Fermented Soybeans" and (though much more expensive per g) "Oil Chili Condiments w/ Mushroom", but to each their own. Usual use is as a rice topping for very quick meals.
me too. the one with kohlrabi, peanuts and tofu is lovely as well.
The only one!
Yes.
Maybe my spice tolerance is messed up but this literally tastes like nothing to me.
You're going to think I'm crazy, but I love to mix this about 50/50 with peanut butter or almond butter. I drain the oil as much as I can first. Outstanding combo.
My go to stir fry sauce
Yes. Not spicy, but amazing stuff.
My honey and I went through the little jar in a week it’s so gooood but yes you gotta stir it up really good all the flavor packed crack crystals on the bottoms.
Not super spicy but still excellent and goes on almost anything, I’m particularly fond of this brands one with fermented black beans in it.
As your average LGMSCC enthusiast I can tell you a quarter inch drill bit is a good size for a straw

I prefer this. https://preview.redd.it/ryb57jzy04ad1.jpeg?width=2044&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19f42a629433335bad54e4464a27cc1ec9b6bbeb
Yep yep 100%
How does this compare to the “Fly by Jing” chili srisp oil ? I got recently which I really like
Oh man. That stuff is so good. I use it on my tofu, rice and veggie bowls
It's good, but I prefer the Lee Kum Kee one: chiu chow oil https://preview.redd.it/pl0idif7m6ad1.jpeg?width=1086&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81590ee2e753ef0db9f53dc2a290ed4a509a6ee9
Try getting the family size next time.
My wife makes chili crisp.

For some reason, this one tastes like Thanksgiving to me. I have no idea how else to describe it 🤣
It's yummy but not really spicy
I actually prefer the standard version. I don't need everything I eat to be too spicy for everyone else to eat.
Correct one for what
Lubricant
You must be new here
Yeah he didn't know this sub is basically just brand worship
Yes... just open it and smell... it'll make you hungry
LAO GAN MA LAO GAN MA LAO GAN MA
I got this same jar and I really did not like it, tastes burnt. But yeah it's the one everyone likes.
Delicious. Not spicy.
get the beany one
It’s cheap. Unpopular opinion but the S&B one is way better.
This is the best store bought one. Try making it yourself with beef which is the original way. It’s so much better!
Correct one for what?
Bathing in
Exploring the ring of fire
Absolutely not. The correct one is “fried chili in oil”. A lot of people get suckered in by the keyword spicy.
