MOMOFUKU Extra Spicy Chili Crunch — 5.5 oz jar, David Chang chili oil with crunchy garlic & shallots for cooking and finishing

Momofuku Extra Spicy Chili Crunch is a bold, crunchy chili oil from David Chang that blends three chili varieties with crispy garlic and shallots to add heat and texture to any dish.

Crafted by chef David Chang, this 5.5-ounce jar delivers an intense, layered chili flavor and satisfying crunch that works as both a cooking ingredient and a finishing condiment. The formula pairs infused oil with fried aromatics so you get immediate heat plus lingering umami and crunch. Use it to enliven noodles, eggs, vegetables, marinades, sandwiches, or as a versatile finishing spoonful.

What makes Momofuku Extra Spicy Chili Crunch different from regular chili oils?

This product combines three types of chiles with overtly crisped garlic and shallots suspended in seasoned oil, creating both spice and texture rather than a plain infused oil. The crunch component stays distinct even after refrigeration, giving each bite an audible and textural lift.

• Three chili pepper blend for layered heat
• Crispy fried garlic and shallots for crunch and umami
• Oil base that carries flavor into cooked dishes and dressings
• Compact 5.5-ounce jar for countertop or pantry

How can I use this chili crunch in everyday cooking?

Momofuku Extra Spicy Chili Crunch is designed to be highly versatile: stir a spoonful into soups or sauces, toss with noodles or roasted vegetables, or use it as a finishing condiment on sandwiches and grilled proteins. A little goes a long way—start with a small amount and increase to taste.

• Stir into ramen, soups, and stews for instant heat and texture
• Toss with pasta or noodles for a quick spicy sauce
• Spoon over eggs, avocado toast, or pizza as a finishing crunch
• Mix into marinades and dressings to boost flavor complexity

What should I know about storage, shelf life, and portioning?

The jar is shelf-stable until opened; after opening, refrigerate to preserve crispness and extend freshness. Because the product is concentrated, use measured amounts—start with a teaspoon and adjust. If the oil solidifies slightly in cold temperatures, let it sit at room temperature briefly before using.

• Shelf-stable unopened; refrigerate after opening
• Use clean utensils to avoid contamination
• Small spoonfuls deliver strong flavor—ideal for controlled portioning
• If chilled, allow to warm for a few minutes for easier scooping

How spicy is the Extra Spicy Chili Crunch and who should try it?

This variant emphasizes heat—expect pronounced spiciness balanced by savory fried aromatics. It’s best for eaters who enjoy a clear, persistent heat and crunchy texture, rather than a mild or purely aromatic chili oil. If you prefer mild condiments, use sparingly or blend with neutral oil or mayo to temper the heat.

• Designed for fans of bold, lasting spice
• Crunch and umami help offset pure heat with savory depth
• Can be diluted into sauces if milder flavor is desired
• Excellent for elevating simple meals with minimal effort

Who is this for? Home cooks, busy weeknight chefs, and adventurous condiment collectors who want a compact jar that instantly upgrades ordinary dishes with heat, texture, and savory complexity. Whether you’re finishing a bowl of noodles, spicing up a sandwich, or adding depth to a homemade dressing, Momofuku Extra Spicy Chili Crunch is a pantry-ready option for those who prefer bold, crunchy, and chef-driven flavors.
