NPG Sichuan Chili Crisp Oil 7 Oz, Medium Heat

I've been on a mission to find the best chili crisp, and I've easily tried over 50 different brands. Out of all of them, this is the one I keep coming back to. The flavor is what sets it apart. It has the perfect balance of heat, crunch, and umami without overpowering whatever you're putting it on. I've used it on dumplings, eggs, ramen, fried rice... honestly, it makes just about everything better. If you're a chili oil fan and trying to find "the one," this is it. I've tried the gauntlet, and this is still my favorite

I make my own large batch chili crisp oil at home based on Sonny Hurrell's recipe. It's so good and it allows me to use a better quality oil for a healthier final product. That said, it's time consuming to make, so this chili crisp will be the stand in. It's VERY tasty, with a pronounced Szechuan mala numbing kick to it. Spicy, yes, but not a one-note spiciness. It has layers of salty-savory-umami as well as a nice mouth feel and volume. When I opened it, I initially dipped an espresso spoon in to give it a stir and a tase. It was so good, I went back like 5 times before realizing I needed to exercise restraint if I wanted some left to drizzle over ramen, dumplings and hand cut noodles. Very addictive. Complements Shanghai scallion oil well (my preferred blend for topping everything). Money well spent.

This stuff needs to be called sichuan addiction oil because omg it’s phenomenal. It’s the best chili crisp i’ve ever had. This on chicken ramen is my kryptonite. i can eat it straight from the jar. with cream cheese and crackers it’s amazing. it’s great on eggs and toast. Just don’t splash it in your eyes it’s not recommended (from experience). how this has anything less than 5 stars i have no idea. their taste buds are broken.

Best chili crisp oil I’ve had. Great flavor and added heat. I add it to almost everything nowadays and it never disappoints! I find I like it best on eggs and curry’s! The bottle is a good size for the price and I’ve never had problems with it leaking or not sealing properly.

I buy various la-yu for my families yakisobas and had been looking for a new one to get more depth and fuller heat. This is not spicy. It has great smell and decent flavor but it’s more just a flavored oil. Even the family member who can’t handle spice at all is able to eat this one. So we likely won’t be buying this again.

I bought another brand of oil before, it wasn't horrible, but this is much better in my opinion. NPG has more of a flavor profile, spice level is good. You get the tingly, numbness from the Sichuan flakes and peppercorns.

I’ve tried a lot of chili crisps, but this is the perfect companion for Shu Manor har gow. The heat is spot-on—not overpowering, just enough kick to cut through the shrimp. My pro tip? Mix in a little soy sauce and you have a restaurant-quality dipping sauce right at home.

Love the flavor on my soups.good quality
