What makes this chili crisp different from ordinary chili oils?

Unlike a simple infused oil, this product combines both oil and crunchy chili fragments plus a signature spice blend for texture and depth. The recipe focuses on Shaanxi red chiles, prized for their color and fragrance, and a heritage spice profile developed over generations.

• Contains both fragrant chili oil and crispy fried chili pieces for bite and mouthfeel
• Uses Shaanxi red chiles for a bright aroma and balanced heat
• More than 30 spices layered for savory complexity rather than one‑note heat
• Handcrafted in small batches in New York City to ensure consistency

How should I use this chili oil in everyday cooking?

This chili crisp is a finishing condiment—add a spoonful to elevate finished dishes or stir it into sauces and marinades for an instant flavor boost. It works equally well as a topping, mix‑in, or component in dressings to introduce crunchy texture and aromatic heat.

• Spoon over noodles, dumplings, rice bowls, soups, or fried eggs
• Mix into pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and avocado toast for savory punch
