MOMOFUKU Mild Garlic Chili Crunch chili oil with crunchy garlic & shallots, 5.5 oz — low-heat, umami-forward condiment

MOMOFUKU Mild Garlic Chili Crunch is a savory, low-heat chili oil loaded with crispy garlic and shallots for crunchy, umami-rich flavor without intense spiciness.

This jarred chili crunch from David Chang reimagines the brand’s cult-favorite chili crisp by dialing back the heat and amplifying aromatics. Instead of bringing a fiery burn, it focuses on toasted garlic, fried shallots, and mild California chilis to deliver texture and depth—making it an easy pantry upgrade for everyday cooking and finishing dishes.

How does this chili crunch change the taste of simple meals?

It adds a savory, crunchy layer that transforms plain dishes into more complex bites. The mild chilis give peppery warmth and color, while the garlic and shallots provide roasted, oniony notes that persist after eating.

• Gives a toasted-garlic aroma that enhances vegetables and proteins
• Provides crunchy mouthfeel from fried shallots and garlic pieces
• Imparts mellow chili flavor without overwhelming heat

What are the most practical ways to use it in daily cooking?

Use it as a finishing condiment, a quick stir-in for sauces, or a mix-in for dips and spreads. Because it’s mild, you can use a generous spoonful where you’d normally add oil, butter, or plain crunchy toppings.

• Spoon over avocado toast, eggs, or roasted vegetables
• Stir into noodles, fried rice, or vinaigrettes for instant depth
• Mix into mayo, yogurt, or hummus to make savory dips

What does the ingredient profile tell you about quality and dietary fit?

The formula emphasizes aromatics and texture while avoiding intense heat. It’s vegan and non-GMO, making it suitable for a broad range of diets that seek plant-forward, flavorful condiments.

• Made with fried shallots, garlic, and mild California chilis for balanced flavor
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO—works for many dietary preferences
• Concentrated flavor means small amounts go a long way

How should I store and serve it for best results?

Keep the jar sealed and stored in a cool, dry pantry; refrigeration is optional but can prolong peak freshness. Use a clean spoon to prevent contamination and allow the oil and solids to sit briefly after stirring so the crunchy bits remain crisp on top of food.

• Store in pantry or fridge after opening to extend shelf life
• Use a dry, clean utensil to preserve texture and flavor
• Let oil warm slightly at room temperature before spooning for easiest pouring

Who is this for? MOMOFUKU Mild Garlic Chili Crunch is ideal for home cooks and food lovers who want the texture and complexity of a chili crisp without strong heat. It suits people exploring global flavors, creators of bold sandwiches and bowls, and anyone who wants a go-to, vegan-friendly condiment to elevate breakfasts, lunches, and weeknight dinners.
