I've tried a lot of other chili crisps, but none of them ever compare to the one a professional chef friend makes. Until now. I love this. Too many commercial chili crisps have too much oil and not enough flavor. They depend on chili heat, but don't contribute much else. The Hot Pot Queen version has tremendous depth of flavor and richness (and umami). A spoonful in noodles or a vegetable stir fry makes the dish pop. Add a thin layer to a sandwich. I find this to be extremely versatile and it's so much more than a source of heat. I will be buying more.

Authentic, numbing, and perfectly ma-la! Is great drizzled on noodles, wontons, or even vanilla ice cream!

Beautiful depth of flavor. I love the balance of heat and umami in every bite.

Perfect balance, and best chili oil I’ve had! I put it on my eggs and sandwiches, and many other dishes. It is AMAZING!

Not nearly as good as the other mala sauce
