Small Batch Chili Crisp for a Spicy and Crunchy Bliss

 

I’m loving this small batch chili crisp for its bold and crunchy kick. Made with dried chiles, fried garlic, shallots and peanuts in neutral oil, it’s a savory, spicy condiment with an ingredient list like rapeseed oil, sesame seeds and spices like star anise. I found inspiration from brands like Fly By Jing but homemade versions shine with fresh, toasty flavors. Just heat oil, fry aromatics and mix with chili flakes and salt, then jar it up. Drizzle it on rice, dumplings or even ice cream for a wild twist. This chili crisp’s vibrant crunch and umami depth make every bite a fiery and delicious adventure.
