This time around, we wanted to support small business chili crisp brands.
As mentioned in the video, some borderline on chili oil but we wanted to try/support them.
These opinions are from a couple that likes savory and spicy chili crunch or chili oil. We also value versatility since we put hot sauce/chili oil/chili crunch on pretty much everything.
We had a lot of fun giving these a try and look forward to finishing all 8 bottles very soon.

If you like savory & umami chili oil and ready for next-level experience, you should definitely check this out! - ua-cam.com/video/GAq8-7R6RN0/v-deo.html
I really liked the Momofuku Chili Crunch. Mostly because it’s hotter and by far the crunchiest.
It is so good especially on their noodle.
I love chili crisp and chili oil. For chili oil I make my own salsa macha. Salsa macha Is a lot like chili oil. For chili crisps never really had any brands. So I will definitely have to try these.
SB is the one for us. More an umami topping since the heat isn't that hot, which is perfect for us. Was waiting on your review since you showed in in intro..
I’ve seen chili crisps around but never knew there was a difference between chili oil and crisps. Thanks for the education 👍 surprised to see sze daddy on here lol it’s definitely got more of a sauce texture than a crisp. But it is good regardless.
We’ll definitely have to try fly by jing. Loved your chiu chow recommendation.
We took a page out of the Eater book (who listed it as a crisp) and threw that on there since we were intrigued 😂
But we definitely think you guys will like the Fly by Jing! 😁
Thanks for the help going to get some
Momofuku extra spicy is my fave
I love to put the momofuku in my seaweed soup. It really does make you sweat. I love it!
Ohhh we’ll have to try that combo next time! 😂
I enjoyed this. You guys are also so sweet
Thanks for the review. These jars are so expensive! At these costs, would you make your own?
I agree. They are up there in price. They’re fun to try once in a while, but when we run out we tend to go to our local 99 ranch/ Asian market to restock on the cheaper kind. (:
how tf to open that momofuku chili crunch, i swear to god, I used everything, ANYWAY and that shi just not moving at all
I like to fuse the two Chilli oil with extra crisp in it
That’s not a bad idea!!! 🔥🌶🤗
Hack for opening sealed shut jars: Put a rubber band around the edge of the lid and then twist to open. Works all the time.
We're going to do this for the next review in the very near future. Thanks!!
I really like the Momofuku Chili Crunch (Extra Spicy) but it doesn't give me the same traditional chili crisp vibes as Lao Gan Ma for example. It's more chili flakes than all the other crispy beans and chili bits.
I want to try the Truffle one with some pork soup dumplings for a Din Tai Fung truffle pork xiao long bao DUPE
This might be the best idea to use for the truffle one! 😃
You have to try barnacle foods “kelp chilli crisps” it’s the best hands down. It’s a company out of Juneau Alaska but they now sell it at all world foods markets
It looks great, thanks for the heads up! Definitely want to try it for our next one and luckily there's a store that carries it nearby.
i’m sure it’s good but i can’t imagine paying 20 dollars for a tiny amount compared to like 8 dollars for double that if i get lao gan ma
Mix fly by jing and lao gan ma together. It is magic. TRUST ME
Not me sitting at my desk eating Zindrew extra spicy chili crisp by the spoonful....I think the spice really dies down when you mix it into other condiments or dishes.
😵 really?? Omg we bow down to you! 🙇♂️ 🙇🏻♀️
We’ve been eating it since we made this video and it’s still just as spicy. (And we’re spicy lovers too!)
I’m buying my first chili crisp ever and will try it but I’m getting the lee Kim kee chow since y’all bought couple bottles
Order placed
That’s awesome! Let us know what you think of it!!!
Well, I bought the Kroger brand as my first attempt, and while I am in love with the flavor, I don't care for the oil. They used canola oil and it... I think it has an odd viscosity.
I'm rinsing the spoon in hot water to get the chilli crisp residue off and the oil doesn't seem to want to let go of the spoon.
Umm.
I tried all the chili crisp and i still love the original lao gan ma the best. I dont lije the fly by jing.
I get the Lao Gan Ma brand sold at Walmart. And I put it on stuff like baked chicken, breakfast hash browns, pot stickers, mixed with kewpie atop my cheeseburgers. And I am not ashamed of what I'm doing.
We are the same way! We put that stuff on everything!!
Fly By Jing is my favorite 🥰
How do these compte to Lao gan ma tho?
Without fail my favorite is always lao gan ma chili crisp!
Can you please review Kari Kari Chili Oil?
The kind folks at Kari Kari sent us a bottle, stay tuned! 😃
Have you tried Mama Teavs Chili Crisp? It's my go to right now. If you do try the OG not the mild.
We haven't but it shows that they sell it at one of our favorite local small business shops! We'll give it a try and eventually have a review up on chilioilgang.com. Thanks!
Accidentally purchased the mild one but we weren't disappointed at all! You can see it in the latest review - ua-cam.com/video/ZVyz7_Xg-pU/v-deo.html
It does have a bit of a funky smell hahhaa Momofuku but I am addicted too it.
Those prices are ridiculously high. Local market sells chili crisp for $4.
I wanted to like Fly by Jing, but the Sichuan peppers are not for me.
Fly by Jing is hella overrated in my opinion but they have a great social media/Marketing team. Lao Gan Ma the OG grandma one is my favorite followed closely by Zindrew.
We like Zindrew but we couldn't finish the X Batch after a year (it's still almost full). We might just give Zindrew's OG Batch a try 😆
Which is the most crunchiest ?
Excellent question that we should have answered! We have to say that the Chile Crunch (09:21) is the crunchiest. 👍
How do I get that t-shirt
It's a shirt from Etsy but now we're inspired to start making similar ones, stay tuned 😆
im chinese and iv never heard of chili crisps b4
Peter is adorable
boon actually needs a day to air out, meaning it's gets better days after opening.
never noticed now that you mention it.......
I used one jar Fly by Jing in one meal. price was more than the meal . make my own now. opened 2 restaurants since. using same type of taste. plan to open 5 more branches within next 10 years. you guys you do restaurant reviews. .
Lol I can’t afford all these expensive chili crisps, I got two fly by Jings at Costco for $16 on sale which seems to be a good price and I still was like ‘dang that’s a lot’. I like it but I’m not sure how much better it is than Lao gan ma. I’ll have to buy some and do a comparison. Plus the fly by Jing seems to be about half oil which is kinda lame. The oil itself tastes good but that’s a lot of money for only a half full jar of bits.
I work at an Asian grocery store and FBJ sauces are one of the things I'm in charge of ordering. Idk how much Costco buys them for (they can buy more at a time than us so they might get a better wholesale discount), but at OUR store that would be us selling them at a loss! So from that perspective you got a great deal and I totally would have leapt at that sale
Also my boss was also confused as to what makes the sauce worth the money
But people have even been buying the massive $32.99 jars I ordered lol
It just suits some people really well I guess
I enjoy hubby in this video
I don't see how Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp 24.69 oz can be beat at $9.49 🤔🙄
I should have warned y’all, that’s my bad!
No way! We’re just weak, gotta build up tolerance 😂
@@PeterLisaKim that's the right mentality!
I started with Fly by Jing on my chili crisp adventure. I've been excited to try other cheaper options, but so far everything has been worse. Blah. Fly by Jing too good :(
Did you try Lao gan ma?
So I’m just starting my chili crisp journey too and fly by jing was my first and mannn I now have an obsession lol. I just got some laoganma and idk I think it might be my favorite. It’s weird like one day I’m no fly by jing is waaay better and the next I think Lao gan ma is better lol. Either way they’re both fucking AMAZING 😊
@@dancegidance It just depend what you use it for. Zandrew don;t work or taste that good when I make dry noodle but awesome in soup base dishes. Lao gan ma is amazing in everything.
So which one would you guys recommend?
Wei Good Food is my favorite!
Can I make chili noodles with this??
Yes!! Chili oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, green onion, soy sauce and a little sugar. 👨🍳🌶️🥵🤜🏻
@@PeterLisaKim Thank you!! 🤘😋
Fly by Jing is ok (rookie oil
Fly by jing is awful , it has a sludge I don’t like. Nothing beats the original Lao gan ma. I’ve learned to make it at home.
better hope david doesn't come suing you.
hoooooly shit, these are expensive... you can make a whole batch of chilli crisp/chilli oil for a fraction of those prices. im shocked ppl actually pay so much for a small jar of chilli crisp, actually crazy.
Agree, I’m too poor for this shit lol
Time is money
God bless your innards😂🤣🔥
Quick recovery, short memory. It’s like the shooters gotta shoot mentality 😂😂😂
Fly by Jing is always described as good but completely overrated, especially with the price.
Their Zhong Sauce is pretty fire, though. And I love the Mala spice mix they have.
@@MickeyDs14 I think all of their stuff is quality. I really like the chili crisp, just not for the price. I'd say its worth buying to try, but after that I'd suggest just making your own.
Watch worth it
Momofuku easily the best one
I think it's spelled "fly by jing" 😂
Looks & sounds like Cheyenne.
Momofuku is the shit
20 USD for a jar of that? Overpriced
Chili Crisp is a gold mind if you are willing to pay outrageous prices... No thanks...
Everyones income is different
What is chili oil?
Just boiling hot oil poured over chili flakes, and filtered after sitting in the flakes...chili crisp leaves all that stuff in it...
Chili oil is chili oil. Oil infused with chili. Chili infused with oil. The name “chili oil” literally describes itself. Chili…oil…. Chili oil
It is oil squeezed out of chili. The name “chili oil” literally describes itself. Chili…oil…. Chili oil.
@@TheKaukas I ended buying the lee kum kee and it was good and bought 2 more after that about to order the fly by jing
I even put it in cheap ramen and makes it flavorful
@@TheKaukas lmaooo
🙄 Jing is just good at marketing and jacking up prices to convey false and unwarranted quality that haven't been verified. Unlike Huy Fong Sriracha, which is Made in USA with ingredients grown in California, Jing's sauce is made entirely in China. She dropped buzz words like "high quality, locally sourced" foods. That only works if we also live in Cheng Du and know how these chili and ingredients are actually grown. Otherwise, it's NOT local and the well-known poisonous quality of Chinese produced foods have been well-documented. The reason these "fly" restaurants she referred to featured such "cheap" prices that customers gathered like flies is because they weren't always above using gutter oil, vegetables, meat, and seafood awashed in chemicals, even cardboard "meat". China's bad food quality is so well-known almost everywhere that during the recent Olympic, warnings against eating food there were given to all athletes while only specifically grown foods from farms with stringent inspections were allowed in. On top of this, a 28 oz bottle of California-made Sriracha is about $5-$6 retail but 3 6oz jars of Fly by Jing sauces direct from manufacturer is $42, EIGHT times more expensive! Kinda ridiculous if you think about it...
Hi there. There's a lot to unpack here but we'd like to chime in.
One thing we can agree on is that Fly By Jing is great at marketing. Everything we purchase is emotionally driven and 'buzz words' help customers on their buying journey. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
However, in the same way, using words like 'poisonous' isn't fair and although likely unintentional on your part, does harm to the brand and anyone who does business in China.
We'd be naive to think that there aren't any cases of health/safety issues in China but Fly By Jing is doubling down by becoming a Certified B Corp (which was revealed to me by a member of their company after contacting them). Which is achieved through strict compliance.
As for the price, it doesn't make sense to compare Fly By Jing to Sriracha. Especially if you're comparing 1 bottle of Sriracha vs a 3-pack of Fly By Jing.
We know that it sounds like we're being Fly By Jing stans here but we appreciate their efforts in fighting against stereotypes that Chinese foods/products are low quality and must be 'cheap'.
