NPG Sichuan Chili Crisp Oil 7 oz, Medium Heat

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is some delicious stuff, I do miss the texture of a moral chili crisp , I tend to use this with a chili crisp to get the best of both worlds

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.

Goes well in so many things, not just Asian foods. There's "heat" but not screaming hot. I add some on my bacon, mixed with honey, or straight, with my eggs. Will buy again!

I lived in Sichuan for over 2 years and I love the food. I came back home to the states and every Sichuan restaurant I went to never brought me back to Sichuan. So I decided I was going to cook my own Sichuan Cuisine and this Sichuan chili crisp oil brought me right back to Sichuan. Will be buying again so happy totally worth it especially if you lived in China and looking for authentic Sichuan food and spices.
