Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp

The world seems to be head-over-heels about chili crisp right now, so here’s our recipe for Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp. We were never quite happy with commercially available chili crisps; they were either too salty, all heat but no flavor, not hot enough, too dry, or had too many undesirable ingredients (talking about you MSG). Our Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp strikes a good balance of the various flavor elements incorporated in it and is not overly hot; feel free to add more Sichuan Chili flakes for more heat. Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp adds delicious heat and flavor to many dishes and the oil, without the crisp, can be used as chili oil. We recommend using Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp when preparing Sichuan Noodles with Pork.

Prep Time: 5 minutes, Total Time: 35 minutes. Yields 1 cup of Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp.
