Momofuku Chili Crunch by David Chang, (5.5 Ounces), Chili Oil with Crunchy Garlic and Shallots, Spicy Chili Crisp

I picked up Momofuku Chili Crunch by David Chang (5.5 oz) because I kept hearing about how good it is, and honestly, it lives up to the hype. Right away the aroma hits — it has that rich, toasted chili smell with a hint of garlic and savory crunch. The texture is fantastic. It’s not just oil with spice; you get crispy bits in every spoonful that add real depth and crunch to whatever you’re putting it on. I’ve used this on eggs, noodles, tacos, and roasted veggies so far, and in every case it elevates the dish. A small spoonful goes a long way, and it adds heat plus umami without overpowering the rest of the flavors. It’s the kind of condiment that makes a simple meal feel intentional. The heat level is noticeable but very manageable. It’s spicy, but it’s the good kind of spicy — not one-note burn, but layered with flavor that keeps you going back for a little more. If I had one minor note, it’s that it’s easy to go a bit heavy if you’re not careful, so I’ve learned to start with a small amount and add more as needed. Overall, this chili crunch has become a staple in my fridge. It’s bold, flavorful, and versatile, and I’ll definitely reorder when this jar runs out.

That crafty David Chang has created a fantastic condiment that is good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It has a slight spicy component, with onion, garlic, and other savory spices with a small amount of sweetness. It all combines to make a delicious chili oil that is not just for asian food. I have added this to my Amazon subscriptions because I go through a jar fairly quickly, and really don't like running out.

Great flavor and crunchy texture. Medium heat. I put it on everything. Not just for asian foods, but it compliments the cuisine. A bit expensive for the amount, but well worth it. I keep a good supply

Great taste and texture but made with seed oil.

Absolutely love this chili. It has the perfect level of heat and flavor. I always want this stocked for my next spicy noodle dish.

This chili crunch is great tasting, with a hint of sweetness, a tad spicy, enough to make you want more with a crispy loud crunch! Robust flavor with a pop! I finished the jar by myself in three days. I ate it on pot stickers, eggs, beans, in a tortilla with butter and homemade vegetable noodle cilantro soup. This would be excellent in calabacitas!

Put aside the controversy with chef David Chang trying to pursue a lawsuit against the term "chili crunch," this sauce is pretty good. However, this sauce is lacking in some of the most important areas that make an amazing chili crunch. In my honest opinion, there is a definite lack of garlic, there is too much of a soy flavor coming through, and the overall umami is just ok. I find the spice at a very stable level. If you hate it or crave it, I would rate the spice at a 5/10. Like I said, it is pretty good, but I have bought random chili crunches/pastes/oils (whatever you wanna refer it to) from my local asian store and they would get an easy 7-9/10. I would recommend, if you have an Asian store near you, go there and find something from there. It most likely will be cheaper and taste better. Hope this helps anyone on the fence of wanting to try this sauce out.

Got this on sale, but might get a better deal on the seller’s site. Really great spicy condiment for soups, noodles, pretty much anything

لذيييذ مع الكبسة ومع الباستا والسندويشات ندمت مااخذت اكثر من علبتين

Delicioso. Mi primer envío de chorreo pero Él vendor es amable y excelente comunicación me enviaron un reemplazo inmediatamente bien sellado.

Excelente

Came broken and leaking everywhere. Smells good though but unfortunately I cannot taste it.

Unfortunately the oil had leaked so the product does not taste that great.
