Chiu Chow Chili Crisp Oil 205g/7.2oz - Savory Chili Sauce for Authentic Chinese Cuisine, Perfect for Dips, Drizzling and Stir-Frying

This is the stuff! A decades old staple in many Chinese households when the chili oil is passed around at meal time, the Lee Kum Kee brand is one you can trust in what seems to be an endless line of trendy brand chili oils on the market today touting "premium" ingredients and exotic flavors. Often twice the price and more for half the chili oil, and in some cases less, no need to take that bait. Listen, I love chili oil as much as the next guy and have enjoyed a good variety of them. Some are very good, others not. Many these days go out of their way to be a little "different" in a crowded marketplace. So of course you may give some others a try. But THIS is where it ultimately begins and ends. Great flavor, value, good heat and consistent quality. I've been enjoying this brand of chili oil for three decades and every jar has been the same. And when it comes to chili oil that is a good thing, not a bad one. You can take chili oil and try to improve on it by adding this or that ingredients. More or less, and to more or less success. But at the end of the day, a consumer most likely comes back to this. It's a "why try anything else" kind of product when it comes to flavor, heat, versatility, consistent quality, and good value. I have six jars sitting in a cupboard and another open on my kitchen counter. It gets the job done right each and every time.

My son eats this on everything from rice to eggs and meats. He also incorporates this into sauces. It's the only brand he likes. Three 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 up!!

Great product. Buy multiple.

**Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chili Oil - 4 Stars** Lee Kum Kee’s Chiu Chow Chili Oil has become a go-to condiment in our household. I love the smoky, deep flavor it brings to dishes, adding a distinct richness that complements a wide range of foods. My wife describes the flavor as "musky," which might not appeal to everyone, but we both agree that it’s a unique taste that sets it apart from other chili oils on the market. While the flavor is fantastic, I do wish it had a bit more heat. It’s mild compared to other chili oils, so if you’re looking for something with a serious kick, you might be left wanting more. That said, it’s a great option for those who prefer a more balanced spice profile without overwhelming heat. One downside is the jar—there’s a tendency for it to leak, which can make storage a bit messy. I’d recommend transferring it to a more secure container once opened. Despite this, the rich, smoky flavor makes it worth adding to your pantry, especially if you enjoy layering flavors in your cooking.

How did i go my whole life without this stuff? This is the magical secret ingredient for which you have been looking! Great in everything!! So yummy!

One of my favorite chili oils. I originally found it on TikTok but I found a better deal this time on amazon.

Very salty

Great
