Delicious good on a lot of things. It’s really good with hummus and pretzels and on hard boiled eggs I’d really recommend this one. You could try and make it yourself, but I’ve heard that’s pretty difficult. Just a really good thing.

I had never bought this before, but it is delicious. I will be buying it for now on. I’ve put it in several dishes now and I’m hooked yes it’s spicy, but it’s not overwhelmingly powerful. I am a Texan so spicy food doesn’t affect me as much as others, but to me, it was the perfect amount of heat. I love the crispy flakes and the garlic finish.

Forget Frank's; I put this s*** on everything. I would try it on vanilla ice cream if I could find decent vanilla ice cream here. I recommend it on a peanut butter sandwich, although I sometimes also add a bit of honey. It's good on eggs, meat, peanut butter, ramen, whatever. I've gone through almost an entire jar by myself in two weeks. It's got enough heat to feel the burn, but not enough to take your lips off. It definitely carries a kick. The amount in the jar is good for me, although I probably use more than the average person if this is a restaurant size jar. The size of the jar isn't the issue. The thickness comes from the crunchy bits - and there are lots of crunchy bits.

I would like to say because this is a huge jar of chili crisp that I won't run out, but it's so good, I use more of it! Far and above other brands I've tried. The heat level is spot on. For my flavor palate, this is about as close to perfect. I use it straight, in sauces and marinades. My new go to!

PROs: nicely spicy with a nifty crunchy texture. reasonably priced (unlike a lot of the trendy "craft" chili crisp flooding the US market now). CONs: preservatives you might want to avoid (monosodium glutamate, sodium sulfite, and sulfur dioxide). super salty. I was lucky to receive my big jar in one piece, unlike some reviewers. (There wasn't any cushioning inside the box to protect it in transit, so I would advise anyone ordering to consider ordering it alone, rather than as part of a larger order of things that might get damaged by leaking oil or an inadvertently cracked or smashed jar.) Don't be put off by bizarre assertions in some reviews about a "fishy" taste: there is none, nor are there any ingredients that would impart one! There is, however, a lot of salt. To my palate, the level of sodium is overwhelming, which is a shame because I like nearly everything else about Lao Gan Ma's chili crisp, aside from the preservatives. Chili crisp has a way of enhancing most foods that is surprising and delightful. It is fantastic on everything from eggs to veggies to meats to noodles. It has a habit of disappearing really quickly... which is why, if you like the taste, this large jar isn't overkill. If you haven't tried it before, it might not be a bad idea to first buy a small jar at your local Asian grocer to see if you like it: it should be about $3 for a 7oz. jar. You can also order a case (12 jars) of LGM here on Amazon for about $36. After buying this Family/Restaurant Size jar of LGM, I ordered a case of the small jars. Interestingly, the small jars (produced in March 2020) I received taste COMPLETELY different than this large jar: the sodium level isn't through the roof like it is in this large jar, and the flavor and crispiness are noticeably better. I have no idea if it is typical for batches to vary this much in taste -- or if I just got a one-off or expired large jar -- but I am even more addicted now. Great stuff!

This is a touch of heat and an Asian flare delivered in a slightly crunchy manner. I find it perfect for eggs, salads, stir fry’s and especially fish dishes where you seek to add an additional flavor element but not something too overpowering in the way of heat. This has been my favorite for about a year now and I go through a jar in about two months. The only thing I have to add is, occasionally stir it throughly, the salt tends to settle to the bottom and if you don’t stir it, the bottom 1/2 inch of product is too salty.

I fell in love with chili crisp after a Chinese neighbor brought over some homemade chili crisp. After he moved, I had to find another supplies, and Lao Gan Ma is considered the best according to my research. It is delicious. The heat level is very reasonable - I would say it is between mild and medium. The flavor is great - I find myself adding it to all kinds of foods I love it so much (e.g., tuna fish salad). The ratio of oil to spices is perfect - you can scrape out a bunch of spices without drowning in oil. I love using it to make dumpling sauce (black vinegar, soy, chili crisp, sesame oil, maybe some fresh ginger and garlic, etc.). It also goes great in a cucumber salad (black vinegar, soy, chili crisp, sesame oil). It is reasonably priced and I cannot imagine not keeping some in my fridge at all times.
