Lao Gan Ma is credited with popularizing Chinese chilli oil and chilli crisp toppings in the Western world, with this classic spicy chilli crisp being among the most well-known and beloved.
Lao Gan Ma's Crispy Chilli Oil is filled to the brim with dried chilli and crispy fried onion in a richly flavoured oil. To add further flavour, fermented soybeans and sichuan peppercorns are added to the mix.
How to Use Spicy Chilli Crispy
We recommend using the crispy chilli oil as a condiment at the table to add spice to rice or noodle dishes, to spread on tofu, or to use as a dipping sauce for wonton or prawn tempura.
About Lao Gan Ma
Lao Gan Ma's recipes were created by Tao Huabi in 1984, in a humble kitchen in Guiyang, China. She soon brought her recipes to the general public when she opened her own noodle restaurant in 1989.
The popularity of her sauces encouraged her to convert her restaurant into speciality shop for her sauces, before founding the Lao Gan Ma company we know today in 1996 and expanding her production line.
Today, Lao Gan Ma's sauces are known internationally and loved by celebrities worldwide, such as John Cena who famously professed his love for the brand on social media in his best Mandarin.
This chilli crisp is one of the brand’s most popular products.
