Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chili Crisp Oil 205g/7.2oz - Savory Chili Sauce for Authentic Chinese Cuisine, Perfect for Dips, Drizzling and Stir-Frying

I saw chili crisp listed in many recipes so decided to try this brand. The texture is good, it has stayed fresh in the fridge. It is HOT so be warned! But adds a great flavor, especially in Asian dishes.

First of all, I am new to using chili crisp oil. My spice-loving friend puts her favorite variety on everything, always offering it to others with the warning of "a little goes a long way." While I've come to enjoy a greater level of spice thanks to her cooking, I definitely can't match her spice tolerance yet, so I've never tried it when she offered.But then I ended up ordering this for a specific recipe I was making. I landed on this oil after reading reviews that described it as having a deep, rich flavor without overpowering heat. I agree with that description (but, yes, a little still goes a long way).After using it for the planned recipe and enjoying the smoky, almost umami flavor, I've been experimenting adding a bit here and there to other dishes--and so far, it's made literally everything better. I just tried a bit in my vegetable beef soup, which might sound a little odd at first, but it really takes the flavor to the next level.I think I might officially be addicted!

This is the best chili oil. It’s not like the other ones. This is the best one it gives you enough chilis, and oil. It has a great savory taste.

**Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chili Oil - 4 Stars**Lee Kum Kee’s Chiu Chow Chili Oil has become a go-to condiment in our household. I love the smoky, deep flavor it brings to dishes, adding a distinct richness that complements a wide range of foods. My wife describes the flavor as "musky," which might not appeal to everyone, but we both agree that it’s a unique taste that sets it apart from other chili oils on the market.While the flavor is fantastic, I do wish it had a bit more heat. It’s mild compared to other chili oils, so if you’re looking for something with a serious kick, you might be left wanting more. That said, it’s a great option for those who prefer a more balanced spice profile without overwhelming heat.One downside is the jar—there’s a tendency for it to leak, which can make storage a bit messy. I’d recommend transferring it to a more secure container once opened. Despite this, the rich, smoky flavor makes it worth adding to your pantry, especially if you enjoy layering flavors in your cooking.

Well packaged

We use it on everything!!

Jars were leaking and safety seal was broken when they arrived. This third party seller packaged them in a bag, probably should have put them in a box instead. The chili oil itself is normally great, just buy it from somewhere else.

Been on a search to find chili oil that tastes exactly like the ones they carry in Vietnamese/Chinese restaurants and I finally found it!!! This chili oil tastes exactly like the ones they use in those restaurants. Not too spicy but has a great taste!!!
