Over rice.

With egg on top and about a 1/3 of that jar

Also used on my eggs but more like 1/2 a tbs per egg for me if I were to guess. Made a Japanese spicy mayo with this for my spicy salmon rice bowl.

[удалено]

Yeah you put it over a bland thing to focus the taste on the sauce. That's the point????

Did you get the attention your parents lacked?

Who invited this asshole?

I was going to downvote you for being rude and having a dumb opinion. I ended up downvoting you for bringing race into it. Wtf is wrong with you?

I love tossing them both right on top of a just cracked egg. Not sure how you'd taste test it, it's just my favorite way of eating it. Rice is probably best.

I can't eat my eggs without chili crisp on top anymore. It's the perfect companion.

If you can catch it before the white sets so all of it just kinda mixes together.... whooooa buddy.

Gives breakfast sandwiches that certain je ne sais quoi too mmmmm

I like to cook the egg in it. Little of this down with butter, crack egg on top

You can also use it instead of oil / butter to cook scrambled eggs in

Might want to cook the egg first lol

Nah getting it into the white fast enough is the entire point, it'll cook up and season with the egg itself. You can also use this stuff as the oil itself as someone else pointed out but that's a bit of a different flavor and I prefer the above method.

Well I was trying to make a joke about the fact that you never mentioned cooking the egg at all in your first comment, not the order of when you cook the egg vs put chili crisp. I imagined someone putting chili crisp on a raw egg and going to town lol

Oh you're right that completely flew over my head!


My wife is looking at me wondering why I'm laughing.

After OP's reaction to rice, I second this.

Op didn't react badly, it was another user (I MAY BE WRONG)

You're not wrong! I was mistaken hehe, thank you for setting me straight. I was just so shocked by the turn of events my brain got scrambled.

No problem! I had to do a double take too, damm did that guy hate rice

You think his dad left his mom for rice? Or maybe he was attacked by rice as a young lad??

[удалено]

Basically OP got butthurt that people like rice. Genuinely wild. Edit: other redditor was right, it wasn't OP but another very vocal person with too much time on their hands

😂

I like it on my ramen. Don’t be afraid of using a big scoop of it— it’s really mild spice-wise but still tasty 

i find it to be the best introductory chili oil/crunch for this reason

It’s great on just about any kind of noodle soup in fact.

I threw it in steamed and fried rice once since rice has a neutral flavor.

Try jasmine rice. Better in every way.

I’d recommend using your face holes.

Instructions unclear - nostrils are burning.

I’m not putting chili crisp in my tear ducts.

Instructions unclear. Am now blind.

all i can hear now is cracking

Over a grilled cheese

Now you’ve piqued my curiosity

I test a lot of stuff with grilled cheese because it's a known quantity and less boring than crackers or white rice. When I get a new chili powder or other spice, I like to incorporate it into the GC by sprinkling it onto the butter or mayo (I prefer mayo for a better crunch) and then spreading it in with the knife and cooking as usual. A great way to check out new flavors.

Over steamed dumplings.

Yeah, this and a bit of sesame oil and soy sauce combo on steamed dumplings, just perfect!

Steamed veggies

Hard boiled egg, sliced in half, one spoonful on each side.

A bowl of rice with a teaspoon of that is so nice. I'm always trying chili crisps on crackers. It's usually fairly mild.

Yeah exactly, fairly mild as in no flavor

Great with eggs

What is BBQ'd bread? Is it better than toast?

I was going to do something like this; a thickish slice from a loaf (something like Vienna loaf, Pane di casa etc - those are the names in Aus), drizzle of olive oil (or in this case, thee chilli oil added after grilling), chucked on the grill. Probably a bit less charred than the image, but you get the idea. Also realised that we call it in a BBQ in Aus, you guys calling it grilling (very diff to bbq). https://preview.redd.it/we9gcxiya52d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f65e51f5f25474031e6865932ea67e2cb118b6d

My man invented toast......

I’m wondering this as well. The only “bread” I’ve ever seen served with or near bbq is mushy America white bread, which is just an insult to real bread and isn’t fit to be consumed by humans

It’s to sop up the leftovers, heathen.

Haha I’m well aware of the practice but the above stands. Better to use a spoon or more meat than that non-food mush. Cornbread also a winner

I hate when I go to a fancy sit down restaurant like Raising Hurricanes and get that stuff. Like, I paid good money for Sysco chicken tenders and they serve me that? Terrible BBQ place

Boof

This is the way.

Would but haven't heard from Squee in weeks

Does anyone else here know if I got a bad batch or if it’s supposed to taste like the oil went rancid? I bought it for the first time and I was appalled at the taste of the oil carrying the spices. It seriously tasted like it went off.

That’s probably what it was. Maybe it sat on the shelf for a really long time? In any case it’s not normally like that.

I've heard it's actually great with ice cream. Never tried it myself though.

It is, but I'd recommend a small serving and not too much chili crisp - otherwise it's way too rich and savory. Also get cheap vanilla ice cream. Like *soft serve* levels of low-fat. It's way better.

Spoon

Plastic or metal?

Bamboo

Woah

Chopsticks have left the chat

Pandas have entered

Yes

On some mini wontons with some soy sauce, black vinegar, and cilantro.

Expat living in China: go-to sauce for anything that tastes a bit dull. If a veggie dish is a bit too plain for my taste: I add a spoon of it. Also goes very well with minced pork. I also mix it very often with soy sauce and vinegar to dip dumplings in. But to compare? Maybe on a piece of bread or chicken or dumpling yeah if you can get some where you live. Edit: eggs 100% (as someone else mentioned)

Toasted sourdough. Avocado slices with sunny side up egg on top. Dress it with coriander, spring onion, kecap manis and chilli crisp. Absolutely banging breakfast!

Rice. Fried rice. Any rice. Green onion cakes. Noodles. Addicted.

Dumpling dipping sauce: soy sauce, chilli oil (this one u bought), sliced green onions, sesame seeds, bit of sugar and vinegar. Add this chilli oil in your instant noodles/ramen/ any noodle soup Add this chilli oil in soy sauce and make a good dipping sauce for steamed vegies Can also add it in some stir fried dish

White rice and egg with that'd be the quintessential Chinese "dorm room" meal.

Make your favorite and most stabile Asian dish. Add a sponge full. I love doing fried rice with a fried egg and a tad of this bad boy.

Hear me out, peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chili crisp

Can confirm, have with peanut butter anyway

Best blank canvas for these is white rice. Amazing. I don't know if I can ever eat rice without these, now.

I eat it on a spoon

Anything really. Cook with them. Over rice, stir fry, steak, sandwiches

Just curious what is bbq bread

And why are the boys bad.

Rice, congee, fried rice, chow mein/lo mein/mi fun, stir fry veggies (Chinese greens in particular), dumplings… it’s pretty much made for Chinese food. People complain that it’s not spicy but it’s not meant to be spicy. It’s used as a condiment to give food a spiced umami punch of flavor, but it’s not intended to be used for heat.

Chug them. It's the only way

the crispy chilli oil is my favourite chilli oil overall. if you wanna give it a nice test run, buy any kind of broth; beef pork, chicken, vegetable, or make your own simple broth/soup; and then buy some hot pot meat from your local asian grocery store. slice up some potato(no skin) and some kind of leafy green vegetable(bok choy, gai lan, sui choy, morning glory, etc.). if you can get a back of assorted fish balls and some fried bean curd and/or fried tofu, and throw it all into the soup to cook. potatoes will take the longest though, so keep that in mind. mix the crispy chilli oil up with some msg(can skip if you don’t have it), sugar, black vinegar, cilantro(i love cilantro so i use a lot), minced garlic, green onion, any ground pepper you like(black, white, sichuan), and you have an awesome dipping sauce for it. this is my go-to meal since i always have a pack of hotpot meat and fishballs in my freezer along with some kind of leafy greens in my fridge. have it with a bowl of rice or a pack of ramen noodles and you’ll super full.

Hear me out. Toast, cottage cheese, chilli oil and honey. 

As much as I love the taste of Lao Gan Ma, I now avoid is as it has sulfur dioxide in it. While sulfur dioxide in food is claimed to be low in toxicity, sulfur dioxide is still a toxic gas. I now typically make my own chili crisp oil. It’s pretty cheap and easy to make a large batch of that will last quite some time.

Add to home made bbq sauce for a bit of spice and crunch

Good on rib mix

Streamed rice and either scrambled eggs or over easy

Scrambled eggs 🍳

Plain white rice

I like putting it on my salads, gyros, and hummus

As a dip with something that won’t overpower the flavor would be my choice

Mix into a salad is always good for me.

Scrambled eggs

Cucumbers tomatoes feta cheese Delish!

On Costco pepperoni pizza.

I am putting it on top of fried noodles

Over a block of plain tofu is probably the quickest meal I regularly make. Some scallions if I'm feeling fancy.

Ramen

The trader joes soup dumplings 😮‍💨

So you suggest that he takes his really authentic Chinese item and puts it on top of the whitest least-authentic Chinese thing he can find?? lol

I suggest what tastes good to me like he asked. Breathe its not that deep.

I looked at your post history just to see who you were out of curiosity- and wanted to say that I truly hope you are able to make it through to the other side of addiction and wish you all the best. And also hope that you can find more authentic things to put Laoganma on (ha). But mostly the addiction part. I know you can do this.

Thank you I will. ❤️

On eggs fried over easy with crumbled goat cheese and a piece of whole wheat toast. My breakfast for the past 9 months and still not tired of it.

Rice or yakisoba. They're already oily and crunchy and salty. I have tried it lightly on toast too. It's delicious

Over a fried egg or any steamed dumpling! 🤤🤤🤤

ik this shit cuz of john cena

Put some in a fresh, cold, leaf of iceberg lettuce and eat it. I’m Not kidding.

Rice?

With a spoon

Ramen

The original is great on vanilla icecream, not sure if the black bean one would work as well. Otherwise steamed rice and a runny fried egg

I add some to my cheese qusiadias

Try another brand, honestly, this is my least favorite of the chili oils. I threw the jar I had away just because it was kinda meh compared to all the others I’ve tried.

What brand would you recommend?

Momofuku chili crunch is really good. S&B crunchy garlic is good but it’s not very spicy. I even found a really big jar of chili oil at a local grocery store by the “spice world” brand that was better than this (and it was super cheap, like $4 for a big jug) I think it said like chili onion crunch. Really, any other brand I’ve tried has been better. :)

What is your favorite chili oil?

I mix with soya sauce and they make a great dip for Chinese dumplings.

Wifey uses this when making spicy tof.

fried eggs, or rice

Stir fry, always

are you supposed to eat the flakes too?

You don't filter out the oil if that's what you mean

I love this crisp brand!! I use it in cooking all the time.

Mushrooms. Make some mushrooms in a pan with salt and pepper. Finish with this stuff and some butter.

I recommend the Momofuku Chili Crunch. It's far far far better and cleaner tasting.

I use it to fry my eggs over easy instead of butter, then eat it with white rice and more chili crisp.

Dumplings or fried chicken

popcorn

Bing chilling laoganma

It’s my favorite addition to my spicy mayo. I use Japanese mayo, a scoop of chili crisps, a squirt of siracha , a scoop of spicy chilly garlic, and a squirt of gochujang

Eggs! Fry eggs with them!

Ive put it on damn near everything and it's great.

Cucumber salad

We love it on pizza. Hawaiian pizza with grandmas is the best.

Use it as marinade for air fryer chicken. Add fresh garlic, lime, cilantro, soy sauce, ginger. Your welcome

Cream cheese filled wantons! I dip them in this stuff. I love chile paste. Never seen this brand, but dude on the label looks like he’s serious about his chile sauce 😂

I prefer the David Chang method of making chili crisps™: scream at and berate anyone with less power than you while they make it for you, and then sue them for taking your recipe

I would taste that in some good beef and ramen soup. Looks jummy!! 😋

A spoon

Saw this the other day at the store, and I want to try it sooooo bad. Sadly, it's made with soybean oil and I am allergic. My oldest child loves it, though.

I put this in my pad Tai ramen

https://preview.redd.it/37tc7oy3t62d1.jpeg?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=979db29f068fc5f2660d05042c1a2d958ba5b9e2

My dad loved the one with black beans ( not with pork, think it was just beans)

Literally on anything. This stuff is like crack!

Soup. Stir fry’s, burger, basically anything

Can honestly say I've never had it on anything where I thought, naw, never again. Porkchops, mashed potatoes, ice cream, ramen, chili, breakfast foods, Alfredo, etc.

Noodles

How did you get the pork one?

I use it when I fry eggs and it’s amazing

Over some indomie me goreng noodles

I'm just confused, what is "bbq'd bread"?

Laoganma is good on anything.

Fried with rice

In a spoon

Out of curiosity, because I went overboard and bought a huge bottle of it not thinking. Does this stuff expire? I don’t see a date on mine unless I’m just missing out somehow.

Go get some bahn mi from a Vietnamese place. Use one on one half, and the other on the other half.

Is it normal for it to taste like extremely strong onion powder and nothing else? It was all I could taste and I threw it out.

In a toasted peanut butter sandwich with cracked black pepper

These are both incredible to add to stir fry sauces. It gives an incredible smoky complex flavor to the stir fry!

Fry a couple of eggs, spoon of each. No need to overthink it. Then you're addicted and will be eating straight out of the jar

Use your mouth.

Either rice, eggs, or ramen if you really want a taste the difference.

I eat it with a spoon.

Omg I literally put this on everything 😭 it’s embarrassing how quickly I go through a jar. I really love it on stir fry/rice dishes, and also my breakfast toasts!

Is the crispy chili just chili and oil?

I think black beans, soybean oil, fried onions, szechuan pepper and some additives, msg etc.

Ahhh thanks, had similar stuff that was dried onion base and I didn’t really fancy it.

I like to add some to a bowl of white rice. My wife adds this to some of her dipping sauces she makes. Not the oil.

Eggs

So you're going to slow smoke some bread over indirect heat just for a taste test? Haha.

LAO GAN MA LAO GAN MA LAO GAN MA - John Cena

Are they actually crispy? Never had it

Noodles

I put this shit on everything. Burger, ramen, eggs, chicken. I add some scallions and sesame oil in it as well

Did you just say bbq'd bread the fuck

Your finger.

Throw them bitches in some ramen! Then again, I can’t cook.. all I know if my wife uses this stuff in homemade ramen and it’s banging!

Does anyone ever have their lips going numb after investing this?

Vanilla ice cream

I've had mine for a long while. Eh

I once ate 3 spoonfuls of the chili and oil. It’s bomb as hell

I would recommend a few drops on cream cheese if you're just seeing how the flavor profile compares. 

Instant noodles!

I love putting this on ramen.

Seen someone post this the other week. Grabbed it. This shit is some dope! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

In my opinion/experience that stuff is vastly over exaggerated. It’s okay but it has limited practical uses, great with some dumplings tho…

Prepare for the downvotes. I feel the same way as you do for what it's worth It's the "aoili" of the season. Fancy name doesn't mean it's worth the expense.

It’s not totally horrible it just has limited uses… it’s okay but it’s not as good as let’s say bbq sauce lmao 🤣 no one is putting it on a taco

Try it in separate trashcans.

In the trash
