In my opinion, you just have to have a jar of this in the cupboard (or 3).

This delightful concoction, combining the intense heat of chilli peppers with the satisfying crunch of crispy bits, has become a versatile addition to various dishes.

In Chinese kitchens, chilli oil has long been a staple, but the innovation of adding crispy elements took it to a new level. This modern twist not only intensifies the sensory experience but also introduces a delightful textural contrast to the spicy oil.

Crispy chilli oil typically involves a careful fusion of various ingredients, each contributing to the unique profile of the condiment. The key components include dried chilli peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, however, what sets this brand of crispy chilli oil apart is the addition of the Soy beans that add the crunch... and if you look closely the E621, monosodium glutamate.. which just makes it even more delicious.

Add a spoon on top of a poached egg and avocado toast, or my favourite.... mix together 2 spoons of mayo to 1 spoon crispy chilli oil, and use it as a dipping sauce for pizza crust. Trust me.
