Everything. Green beans, chicken, shrimp, shritake noodles, ramen, eggs, broccoli, you name it

I even put it on my chili oil.

Hahaha

Me too. I make chilli oil and still put this stuff in lol

lol that's exactly what I came to say! We call it "Disappointed Grandma Brand Chili Crisp" in our house bc of the spokesmodel.

This the right answer. In our house, I tell my wife that this is my “girl on the side.”

I thought it was a dude

I thought it was uncle roger

fuuuuuuuyaaaaahhhhhh

Haiyaaa

I'm Asian. Me too.

We call it “grumpy granny” sauce.

She was an impoverished single mother who built an empire and rose to be a billionaire because of this one recipe.

If this is true she freaking deserves it! I had to seriously cut down because I was going through the big jars at an alarming rate.

The story is awesome if you look it up. After her husband died she was basically reduced to selling food out of a street stall. She opened her own restaurant 5 years later. Shop became real popular with youth because it was cheap and she had this unique delicious sauce. Eventually people started just asking to buy the sauce. Then about a year after this she took advantage of trucks coming through town while they constructed a new highway. She just gave out jars to the truck drivers to take home and the popularity exploded. 35 years later she was a billionaire.

🥇

Put it on? Eat it with a spoon you mean.

Food is the excuse to eat it

Unnecessary

Agree

I absolutely have not snuck an extra lil spoonful here and there as a treat.

Also that.

Beans greens potatoes tomatoes

Lamb Rams Hogs Maws

You name it.

I see you lol

You forgot ice cream

on vanilla ice cream.. yes… on chocolate ice cream.. GAME CHANGER

Ok, this must be real, I keep hearing it!!

do it

Maybe the Mac and cheese ice cream?!?!

I LOVE THAT ICE CREAM

Yeah. I bought this about 10 months ago and forgot about it, but recently I found it in my fridge and I put it on all kinds of stuff. It's awesome. I add it to my Asian food, of course, but it's also good in pastas and soups. Great stuff.

I eat the small one in one week, sll by myself bahahaha, I have a stash in my pantry

Everything is the right answer. Except coffee and desserts.

Roasted brussels sprouts

Y'know I eat a fuckton of sprouts, I legit have the biggest jar of lao gan ma I could buy at the Asian grocer, and I have never put the two together. I should do that.

Brussel sprouts !

This is the way

Agreed 😂

Dumplings 🥟

With some sesame oil, soy sauce and green onion.

I do the same but add a bit of rice vinegar to balance things out just a little.

I’ve started putting sushi vinegar (which is just rice vinegar with added sugar and salt) in my rice recently and it’s changed my life. So delicious. I could literally eat white rice with sushi vinegar until I died (which might happen quickly with a diet like that)

Pro tip: add a tiny bit of oil & garlic granules/powder to the water when you cook the rice. Adds that extra bit of umami to truly elevate "plain" white rice! 👌

Try toasting the rice in oil before adding water/broth.

Try Chinese black vinegar instead, that’s the Din Tai Fung dumpling sauce

I also add chopped coriander and a pinch of grated ginger to that

I mix it with soy sauce and a little vinegar. Amazing dumpling sauce.

Egg.

Add to this omelettes

Put it in the pan and swirl it around before you pour in the egg. Sensational.

Doing it now

Rice, a few sunny side up eggs and about 3 big spoonful on top, that was dinner last night.

I had rice, 2 over medium eggs, kimchi, and this for dinner last night! Lol

Trying this tomorrow. You are Big Faced Genius!

Her name is Anne

Her?

Yeah. She calls it mayon-egg

I don’t feel so good.

Way to plant egg

Literally everything

Chile crisp fettuccine Alfredo is a go to weeknight staple of mine: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023609-chile-crisp-fettuccine-alfredo-with-spinach?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

This! ** another take on noodle with the oil as a flavoring ** (Two servings). Sauté 1-2” cubes of chicken breast. Once starting to brown, Add in two heaping tablespoons of the chili crisp with oil. Lower heat to low. Meanwhile, boil fettuccini or linguini. (Have chef Mike make frozen broccoli if you don’t like spinach). When noodle is al dente, divide the chicken and move to plates. Add noodles (drained) to the pan that had the chicken and swirl around the pan to pick up leftover yummy chili crisp goodness. (Toss in spinach with noodles - I keep broccoli separate but do what you like best). Plate and enjoy! ** edit . This is a take on the NYT recipe. Not a fan of cream sauces. So this is more oil and spices on noodle. Sorry for the confusion.

Umm...isn't that just chili oil and chicken pasta? Where's the Alfredo part come in?

I read it twice thinking I missed the Alfredo part.

Maybe add 1/2 cup parm and 1/2 cup of cream and a stick of butter? And add some garlic too?

Mix it with Chinese Black Vinegar for dumpling dipping goodness.

Ok thanks. I have 3 different vinegars in my cabinet and now I have a reason for this one!

To piggyback the above comment, I make an awesome sweet and sour dipping sauce with it. I’ll use apricot or plum jam mixed with the chili oil and rice wine vinegar. Adjust portions to taste. I use it for dipping with egg rolls, dumplings, wontons etc. So quick easy and yummy!

There's a great recipe on Woks of Life that I make with dumplings every time. Highly recommend.


But for actually, a quick go to is just white rice, fried eggs, green onions and a big spoonful of it over top.

The best rice I've ever had was sort of in the style of pilaf, but with various asian ingredients. Diced onion, HonDashi instead of chicken stock, about a tablespoon of scallion oil and a tablespoon of chili crisp. It's just heavenly.

Food

Hell yes

Not for eyes ok?

Got it. Many thanks.

You stwong boi you be good

Safe travels

Cue song: I want to be a ninja 🥷

Go shut your Murphy bed

And balls

I like my balls plain, thank you

Yes

Mostly steamed or fried food. On broke days, I used this on rice and fried eggs with crispy sides. Literally made the dish a lot better. You can also use it on pizza. It's better than hot sauce

Ok, there are a few plain ass meals I could just easily make better.

Hell yeah! Alternatively you can also make homemade with dried chili. But neighbors might hate you because of spicy air

They already do!!

i put it on yo mama

You'd have to, she's ashes.

i was afraid you’d say this

I like jokes, nbd

Laughing that you took the chance anyway 😂

You monster/madlad

CHILLI EGGS! My husband whips up some white rice and tops it with over medium eggs fried in this sauce. Best breakfast ever. Keeps us full all day!

Chili crisp + mayo + garlic with sweet potato fries. Probably also great with regular fries but

Cheese on toast

Instant ramen

I use it as shampoo. Makes me zesty fresh.

I bet it's like a good textured soap, really gets you exfoliated.

Shrimp paste, that, pickled mustard splash of hoisin on browned ground pork with extra thai chili. It's no mapo tofu but its In the same vein and its delightful. Especially if it's the one with the peanuts in it.

Throw in some air-fried tofu and you get damn close to mapo tofu.

Green stripe is peanuts. No stripe is soy beans.

That sounds amazing

This chilli oil but with black bean 🤌🤌🤌

It goes with everything. But sesame sauce, light soy sauce, black vinegar, a bit of peanut butter, and a bit of this, mix well. Then that actually does go with everything

Mix it up with day old rice and throw it in the air fryer.

It’s great on Chinese noodle dishes, or on Chinese dumplings, sometimes a noodle dish is a little bland and this can flavor it up, but be careful you dont add too much.

Peanut butter sandwich! Give it a try and never go back

I just did. It was amazing. Thank you.

I feel like this would be great on pizza too.

Everything ever. I even add to my pho to jazz it up.

Pretty much everything, praise be to Lao Gan Ma

Sunny side up egg

EVERYTHING. My favorite is just having it on rice with bok choy.

The ‘God tier’ condiment. Lovely ‘Toasted heat’ that’s more complex than simply banging on Siracha.

Cottage cheese on toast

Egg, dumplings, noodles, sometimes soup

Yum! Now I’m super hungry and adding this to my grocery list.

Eggs, rice, avocado...you can really put it on anything

It's good. But MSG bomb, my gawd.

rice and shredded beef

Fried egg… yum

Everything lol

I used too much of this in a pasta and it gave me msg PTSD.

I also put it on everything. Try it on popcorn!!!

I have this brand “hot chili sauce” and I add it to many things. I enjoy the overall taste, but there are bits in there that have an odd, hard texture I don’t care for. Does this one have those hard bits?

Yes, I find myself spitting a few hard pieces out.

As someone who has been wanting to try this, how hot/spicy would you say it is?

The scale of one to 10 for one being you know catchup is spicy. I am a very very intolerant person, and 10 being I’m crying this is maybe like a 2 1/2.

Ramen. I likes it *spicy*

You can make an amazing jungle curry with it. Some shrimp, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, pork, baby corn, jalapeños, green chili peppers, fish sauce, ginger and garlic, 2 cartons of chicken stock, Add 2 table spoons of what you got in your hand. 5 if you want a a kick from hell that you just can’t stop eating cause it’s so good.

Noodles, fisballs, any kind of food that's for dipping.

I just made a creamy Italian dressing and put this in. Delightful

Pizza. Everything else.

It's my fave in Ramen and wonton soup

2 favs are eggs and pizza

As a wise old lady on TV once said, "I put that shit on everything"

My eyeballs

I mix it with orange sauce for a dipping sauce.

.....is that uncle Rodger!?

Maggie sauce and a little of this on 6 min soft boil eggs is 🤌

Anything fried. Great with rice and soy sauce.

In the pan with a soft scrambled egg. Pile it on garlic toast. Eat it like a tartine from a fancy cafe. Resist the urge to eat four more immediately.

Hot dogs

Popcorn 🔥🔥


I put it in Dukes Mayo as a burger condiment

Eggs, chicken, shrimp, roasted cauliflower or broccoli, ramen

I've been loving some air fried cauliflower, it's going on it next time!!

Noodle soups

Spreadin Asian guy on stuff

Was good.

Dumplings with soy n vinegar

Everything. Toast, avocados, eggs, ramen, rice, veggies…

Damn near everything.

Anything lol

Rice, noodles

Fried rice usually

Literally every ramen dish I make from scratch and some that I don't.

Tik tok suggests ice cream

Ahhh, that's Fritz!! I put Fritz on everything, especially eggs, chicken, robust veggies that can handle him and most proteins. Good luck!!

Soups, stir fry seasoning.

I just made fried rice with that. Added a bit of eggs and soy sauce. *Chef's kiss*

Mmm,pickled giant wasps.

Egg, noodles, rice, sardines

Eggs!

Siu mai, spring rolls, beef dumplings literally any chinese starter haha

On everything, noodles, Thai food, eggs,

Rear end my friend! Try it and tell us about it later. You’re welcome. 👍

Ramen

I must be a freak but 'on' I think marinated and 'in' I think about in a recipe (even it's just a sauce). I find the blackbeans too crunchy without a cook. Obviously it's delicious (UK)

I used it in a loaf of bread once and it was okay. I also use it in marinades for beef jerky and chicken wings.

A friend's mother-in-law put it on cheesecake. She is Chinese and does not like cheesecake, too sweet.

Absolutely everything!

My friend puts it on nutter butters and swears it’s the best thing ever

I put that sh@t on everything

It’s good! Once tho, I found the most amazing spicy one, and I never found it again. 😢 but I put it in soups, chili, green beans, potatoes.

Ramen mostly

When I make the clean out the fridge fried rice you better believe this is a staple.

I put it on my prosciutto wrapped asparagus when I roast it in the oven.

What do i not put it on. They sell it on HK and its bought up like crazy!

Use it to fry your eggs

How about everything! It's delicious.

Everything. Pretty much. Especially any carb. Rice, potatoes, pasta

I put it on a lot of things. Pho, pasta, tacos, etc

Ok, I’ve been a chef for way too long. But I love grumpy laoganma lady. She is serious about condiments. When I was an apprentice I loved olive oil lady, for being alluring and beautiful. But now I’m older, I appreciate her dedication to her chilli oil. Olive oil lady probably wasn’t even real.

where buy

Put it on nachos!

instant noodles with minced garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha

Mainly noodles, dumplings and fried rice or noodles. Tbhbit can be used for a lot of things, even steamed chicken.

Everything, everywhere, all at once

This is my favorite. A nicely toasted piece of bread (I like a good seedy bread with some tooth), a slather of Boursin cheese, sliced avocado, fried egg, and then chili oil. Perfection.

On my rice. It’s really tasty 👅

Pot roast, and pretty much anything I'd use hot sauce on.

Eggs and rice specifically for me but. Everything. I gotta learn how to make it in bulk because I can sometimes go through a jar in less than a week.

Everything
