The Dish: Traditional Chinese topping on fire in U.S.

Chili crisp has taken the U.S. by storm. Jing Gao created Fly By Jing's version with ingredients exclusively from her hometown of Chengdu, China. Gao shows Nancy Chen how to make her famous topping in her LA kitchen, and the two sample it on top of dumplings, tofu, ice cream and even a cocktail. Nancy also visits Paulie Gee's in Brooklyn to sample his popular pizza topped with chili crisp.

I’m a grandma, & my adult daughter suggested I buy this. It took me 4 weeks to finish the first jar. The next jar took 2 weeks to finish. I just polished off my third jar in 6 days. I add it to eggs, sushi, rice, potatoes, noodles and sandwiches, etc. it is seriously addictive. I told my husband it would make my top 5 “stranded on a desert island” foods. I simply can’t get enough of it!

Been using this sauce to dip oysters, lobsters, and clams for many years. Its basically chilli with garlic fried in oil. You can make it your self. How can something this basic be so good?

[bubblecatt]

This stuff so good with just hot rice itself

[miniskys]

It has MSG. Wish they would omit it.

I'm addicted... now they even have Lao Gon Ma in the local supermarket in Belgium! Too dangerous for me!

Her chili crisps are very good I have both flavors but pricy! Love it on pizza! I savor her chili crisps I still have some from over a year ago.

High Quality and authentic Chinese cuisine (at all price points) is found all over Asia including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia etc.. The US has quite some ways to catch up, in both quality and authenticity. .

Lao Ganma (Old Godmother) sauce's history is actually shorter than you might think. It was first developed in the 1980s based on more traditional sauces.

Most good food in the whole entire world is influenced by Asians but we never get the credit due to us.. but glad to see real news finally.

After seeing that documentary about gutter oil.. i am scared of touching chinese products with oil in it.
