Published on Leave a comment on Szechuan Flavor Hot Chili Sauce

This Szechuan Flavor Hot Chili Sauce came from a local Asian market we frequent. We were happy to find this smaller jar to try, as we weren't sure we'd like it enough to commit to the larger 24oz. container for $8.99.

Main Flavor Elements
  • Chili
  • Sichuan peppercorn
  • Sesame seeds
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Rapeseed/canola
  • Solids to oil ratio: Medium ~40%
  • Flavor Enhancer: N/S
  • Potential allergens: Sesame
  • Storage: Keep in cool, dry place
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Moderate Sichuan spice
  • Texture: Chili flakes, sesame and pepper seeds.
  • Saltiness: None (0mg. per 28gm.)

This one is similar to the Szechuan Flavor Crispy Chili Oil, with the exception that it lacks peanut and soybean. Doing an A/B comparison, they are quite similar in spice and heat, but this one struck us as being a little hotter, with a bit more mala numbing. Perhaps the peanut and soybean in the other serve to mitigate those sensations somewhat. We also got a sense of some tanginess we didn't in the other. Possibly something in the unnamed "spices" is responsible.

We suppose this version from Szechuan Flavor might be preferable when the peanut and soybean aren't desired, but then we're never ones to shy away from some good crunch. That and the lack of salt make this a good candidate for possible use as a seasoned cooking oil. Just a drizzle in a hot pan to fry an egg in sounds like an enticing idea.

As with the Crispy Chili Oil version, this one could easily be a daily driver, supplying a warm Sichuan spice and heat without being the salt bomb so many can be. If we had any complaint, it's that we wished the solids-to-oil ratio was more in the 60/40 range, so that the second half of the jar doesn't end up mostly oil.

Ingredients

Canola oil, chili powder, sesame, Sichuan pepper, spices.

Published on Leave a comment on S&B Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil – Yuzu

This S&B Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil - Yuzu is new to the line as of May 2026. We stumbled across the last jar in stock at a local international market, and snapped it up without a second thought. We'd figure out what yuzu was later.

S&B Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil - Yuzu jar
S&B Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil - Yuzu label
Main Flavor Elements
  • Garlic
  • Chili
  • Yuzu
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Corn
  • Solids to oil ratio: Very high
  • Flavor Enhancer: MSG
  • Potential allergens: Soybean, wheat, sesame
  • Storage: Refrigerate after opening
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Low
  • Texture: Super crunchy
  • Saltiness: Low (90mg. per 5gm.)

We really like the previous S&B offerings and were excited to see what this new flavor variation was all about. As with the other S&B, this one has the kind of crunch level against which all others must be measured. The garlic is also among the best we've tried in terms of overall flavor and lack of bitterness.

Now, to the yuzu. We learned that it's a citrus fruit grown primarily in Asia and, although not very juicy, is aromatic and combines the sharp flavors of lemon, mandarin orange, and grapefruit. How this would translate to a taberu rayu, we weren't certain. The label reveals the flavoring here is achieved via a "naturally and artificially flavored yuzu textured soy protein". We thought perhaps the aim here was something similar to other crunchy garlic products that include citric acid or citric acid powder.

The actual taste was surprising. A spoonful alone starts out tasting primarily of garlic, but, gradually, the yuzu flavor just kind of blooms out of nowhere before fading in a short finish. We ultimately decided we preferred this at least more natural-tasting citrus flavor. And it just may have ruined for us all those others that try to add this type of bright note more simply with plain citric acid powder.

Ingredients

Corn oil, chili pepper, naturally & artificially flavored yuzu textured soy protein (textured soy protein, powdered sugar, rice oil, yuzu juice powder, citric acid, malic acid, natural and artificial flavor), sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, onion powder, salt, fried garlic (garlic, palm oil), fried onion (onion flake, rice oil, tocopherols (antioxidant)), sugar, chili paste (chili pepper, salt, rice), soy sauce powder (soy sauce [soybean, wheat, salt], dextrin, salt), ground sesame, citric acid, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, natural flavor, tocopherols (antioxidant)..

Published on Leave a comment on La Villana Chile de Arbol Salsa Macha

This La Villana Chile de Arbol Salsa Macha was found at a local independent supermarket. It was priced right at the threshold of what we're willing to pay for an unknown, so we went ahead and got it.

La Villana Chile de Arbol Salsa Macha jar
Main Flavor Elements
  • Chile de arbol
  • Sesame
  • Garlic
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Canola
  • Solids to oil ratio: Moderate (~60%)
  • Flavor Enhancer: N/S
  • Potential allergens: Sesame
  • Storage: Refrigerate after opening
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Scorching
  • Texture: Soupy, with soft, medium solids
  • Saltiness: Low (75mg. per 10gm.)

Looking through the glass on the jar, the solids to oil ratio looks to be about 60/40. Other salsa macha we've tried have been quite a bit chunkier, a quality we prefer. The texture of the solids here wasn't as al dente as we would have hoped or liked. We would have also like to have seen some more nut/seed content, like the pepitas or sunflower seeds common to many salsa macha. We're almost tempted to add some.

We were also puzzled by the pepper being first on the list, before the canola oil, as it certainly wasn't the majority of the ingredients.

The chile heat on this one was a four out of five on its own label's scale, and was quite impressive. Our lips and tongue are still burning, and our brows sweating as we write this. We'd hate to think how hot a five would be.

The jar we purchased didn't look exactly like the one above, which we expect you will find if you go looking for it. Ours only said "salsa", and judging by the BB date, is an older version of the label. We were, however, able to confirm both label versions have the same UPC and ingredients.

Our assumption, since our jar had a BB date only two months away, was that it had been sitting on the shelf for quite some time due to an ill-considered placement away from the international foods aisle, and in a section otherwise dominated by bottled hot sauces.

Anyway, if you like or can stand some heat, give this one a shot. If you'd like a more toothsome example of a chile de arbol salsa macha, may we suggest the La Anita Salsa Macha – Arbol Pepper.

Ingredients

Arbol pepper, canola oil, sesame seed, salt, garlic.

Published on Leave a comment on EAPC Crispy Nuts Chili

This EAPC Crispy Nuts Chili came from Amazon. It popped up as a suggested product, and, being on sale, we took a chance. Normally $12, we got it for just over $9. Even from the photo in the listing, we could tell it would be a crunch fest. Let's see how it tastes.

EAPC Crispy Nuts Chili jar
Main Flavor Elements
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Sesame
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Soybean
  • Solids to oil ratio: Very high
  • Flavor Enhancer: Mushroom powder
  • Potential allergens: Soy, sesame, sunflower
  • Storage: Refrigerate after opening
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Low
  • Texture: Super chunky
  • Saltiness: Moderately low (190mg. per 15gm.)

We decided to open and taste before reading anything on the jar. Not recommended for those with allergies, but we are fortunate to not have concerns. The aroma is primarily of nuts. We thought we detected some warm spice like cumin, but it was not found on the ingredient list.

The heat from the chili is subtle, almost non-existent, really buried deep in the overall flavor profile. Odd, we thought, as it's the first ingredient on the list, even before the oil.

What ended up being the biggest surprise was that this is a product of China. Although the name really gave little or nothing away, we were virtually certain this was from Mexico, due to the almost salsa macha (seca?) texture and the presence of sunflower seeds.

Its lack of MSG or other such flavor enhancers was atypical for a Chinese product, but we thought the mushroom powder brought an interesting earthy note in addition to some umami. Also notably absent: allium. No onion, garlic or shallot.

We had to chuckle at the label: "Edible methods: Mix with cold dishes or eat directly." We almost did.

We're glad we tried this one. It's unusual, and we're trying to think of another that comes close. Maybe the Cholula?

Ingredients

Chili, soybean oil, peanuts, sunflower seeds, vegetable protein, sesame, edible salt, mushroom powder.

Published on Leave a comment on Chef Shu Chili Oil Sauce

This Chef Shu Chili Oil Sauce also came from that new Asian Market. It was another one new to us, and its ingredient list looked promising. Yes, the label does say "Chili Oli Sauce". Let's see how it tastes.

Chef Shu Chili Oil Sauce jar

The characters to the left of the logo read:  油 "yóu, oil", 泼 "pō, poured" or together 油泼 "yóu pō = oil poured over ingredients (like chili), 辣 "là, spicy, hot", 子 "zǐ, seeds or fruit, i.e the peppers"

Main Flavor Elements
  • Chili
  • Sesame
  • Peanut
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Canola, sesame
  • Solids to oil ratio: Moderately high
  • Flavor Enhancer: MSG
  • Potential allergens: Sesame, peanut, may contain wheat
  • Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight, in a cool, dry place
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Moderate
  • Texture: Sesame seeds and fine chili flake
  • Saltiness: Low (25mg. per 15gm.)

This jar was made to travel. Rather than a plastic shrink seal around the lid, the entire jar is encased in one. Smart. We've all encountered a leaky jar of chili crisp a time or two.

There are a lot of sesame seeds here, and together with the warm, slow-burn chili heat, they dominate the flavor. There's enough oil to allow a good portion of them to float up to the surface, so mix well.

There's a bit of málà numbing from the Sichuan pepper, but the onion, ginger and garlic are mostly subdued in the mix. The peanut is coarsely ground, and, going by the order of ingredients, we thought there would be more of it. We didn't get any real sense of sweetness from the sugar. The paprika we suspect is more for color.

No real complaint to be made here. $3.99 for a big 8oz. jar is a bargain for a more than serviceable chili oil. Despite its relatively high ratio of solids to oil, we're somewhat on the fence about characterizing it as a chili crisp.

Compare to Liu Po Spicy Red Oil.

Published on Leave a comment on Cuihong Sichuan Red Chili Crunch

This Cuihong Sichuan Red Chili Crunch* came from Amazon, where we just happened to stumble across it. Preliminary information was confusing but we decided to get it anyway. We thought the $9.80 paid for a 7.05oz. jar seemed reasonable. That asterisk after the "crunch" we'll get to in a minute.

Cuihong Sichuan Red Chili Crunch jar

The characters read: 红 "hóng, red, chili", 油 "yóu, oil", 拌 "bàn, mix, for mixing", 菜 "cài, vegetable", 料 "liào, seasoning, condiment". Our research indicates the product is intended as a topping for cold salads or noodles.

Main Flavor Elements
  • Chili
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Sesame
  • Sichuan peppercorn
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Rapeseed
  • Solids to oil ratio: Medium
  • Flavor Enhancer: IMP,GMP
  • Potential allergens: Sesame
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Moderate
  • Texture: Soupy
  • Saltiness: Low (246mg. per 16gm.)

The first thing we noticed when we went to stir it up, besides the somewhat lower than expected solids-to-oil ratio, was how chunky it wasn't. The oil is a deep red color, but it's from chili powder, not chili flakes, of which none are listed. There are solids in the way of sesame seeds, garlic, scallion and perhaps ginger, but they are mostly soft, puzzling for a product that the vendor calls a "chili crunch". A good deal of the non-oil ingredients appear in the form of a dark sediment.

Coincidentally, online reviews also complain about the missing "crunch", and we've come to think that the word was added to the Amazon description when it didn't necessarily apply.

Some other online vendors call this one "Red Hot Chili Sauce" or "Mixed Ingredient Red Chili Oil", the latter of which seems to be a somewhat literal rendition of the main verbiage on the jar, similar to our translation above.

Lack of actual crunch aside, we did like the flavor. The aromatics blend nicely, with the ginger presenting forwardly. In combination with the other ingredients, it gives the impression of lemongrass. The citric acid brings a brightness, and we're assuming it may be a stand-in for Chinese black vinegar. There's just enough Sichuan peppercorn to bring some heat and that numbing effect for which it's known.

We decided to take the tasting a step further and mixed a teaspoon or so into about a half cup of warm rice. The flavor just kind of bloomed, and for a moment we forgot all about the lack of crunch.

Anyway, if you can forgive the lack of texture (or the perhaps deceptive description of it), the flavors here work really well, and in a not-overpowering way.

Some Other Caveats

Now for a minor complaint. The jar we received was dated like many Chinese products, not with an expiration date, but with a date of production. There will typically be a statement to use or consume by anywhere from a year to 18 months from that date. The jar we received in April 2026 was dated June 2025. A such, that left us with only two months remaining of the stated 12 month shelf life. Any closer, or past that date, obviously, and we would normally file a dispute with the vendor for a refund.

This one was a real puzzler re: ingredients. Were the discrepancies we found old vs. new formula, or Chinese vs. export formula? Or were they flat out wrong in some cases? We know there was an update to the packaging, as what we received did not match the image of the jar in the listing. Heck, different exporters can't even agree on what to name it. We must ultimately settle on what the label on the jar we received says, and just issue a caveat that you should check the jar you purchase before consuming.

Ingredients

Rapeseed oil, chili powder, sesame, salt, garlic, ginger, scallion, Sichuan peppercorn, sugar, spices, culinary herbs, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide, citric acid.

Published on Leave a comment on Samar Spice Chili Crisp

This Samar Spice Chili Crisp was encountered while browsing Amazon. It appeared to be on sale, so we took a chance. $8 for an 8 oz. jar of a good chili crisp is a bargain by today's standards. Let's see how it is.

Samar Spice Chili Crisp jar
Main Flavor Elements
  • Smoked(?) chili
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Sesame
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Rapeseed (canola)
  • Solids to oil ratio: Medium
  • Flavor Enhancer: Natural (matsutake powder)
  • Potential allergens: Sesame, peanut
  • Storage: N/S (Refrigeration recommended)
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Moderate
  • Texture: Velvety crunch
  • Saltiness: Low (32mg. per 5gm.)
Samar Spice Chili Crisp and folding spoon

Apparently from China. The label does not specify, only listing the name of the manufacturer, which is headquartered there. It came packed in its own carton with a thank you note and a nifty, folding metal serving spoon. Nice touches.

The jar is plastic and the lid has a tamper-evident ring. Unfortunately, the ring wanted to only partially separate from the lid, so we made use of the spoon to pry it the rest of the way off.

Inside the lid there is a flexible seal ring which, while well-intentioned, allows oil and sesame seeds to get between it and the outer wall of the lid. We anticipate this will cause some drip down the outside at some point.

The solids-to-oil ratio when the contents are settled is about 60/40. The mix of medium and fine solids was a bit compacted at the bottom, so we had to really scrape down into the bottom edges to get a good re-mix before tasting. And we found, going back for a second tasting minutes later, the ingredients had already started to solidify. So, be sure to stir well at each and every serving.

There's a lot going on in here, with well over a dozen non-oil ingredients. We're assuming the goal is both complexity and the achievement of umami without flavor-enhancing chemical additives.

There is a mild heat from the chili, but the Sichuan peppercorn is minimal enough to not produce any of the numbing effect for which it is known. The label touts smokiness, but we weren't really getting much in the way of it.

With so many ingredients fighting for attention, none really stand out individually. Having said that, it still works. There's an overall, spicy, nutty, aromatic, savoriness we found undeniably appealing.

We wondered what matsutake powder was, and found that it is a premium, aromatic seasoning made from ground, dried matsutake mushrooms (Tricholoma matsutake), known for their distinct pine-scented, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor. It is highly valued in Asian cuisine as a natural, savory umami enhancer.

We don't know if we picked up on that particular flavor note, even upon repeated tastings, but with so much else going on in there, it's hard to say.

Overall, we liked this one without any reservations to speak of. Other than the jar closure, and a best by date we thought was closer than it ought to have been, the contents were quite satisfying.

Ingredients

Non-GMO rapeseed oil, chili peppers, peanuts, garlic,sugar, onions, green onions, sesame, smoked chili powder, star anise, cassia bark, cloves, sichuan peppercorns, fennel seeds, salt, matsutake powder

Published on Leave a comment on Chins licKING Chili Oil

This Chins licKING Chili Oil came from Amazon. We're not exactly sure what the brand name's play on words is supposed to be. But we're guessing the emphasis on KING was the goal, even if the "licking" part escapes us. Although the jar says "Chins licKING", the company website always expresses the brand name as "ChinslicKING". We were slightly disappointed that the jar we received had an expiration date a mere four months away, but we expect that, if we like it, it will be used up by then.

Chins licKING Chili Oil jar
New Size and Package
Chins licKING Chili Oil new size comparison

The package shown is the new larger size. Its predecessor looks nothing like it. The jar itself is now plastic. Notable is the also-new closure which adds a pull-ring metal lid underneath the screw-on plastic lid. And, as we know, anything that makes for leak-free shipping is more than welcome in this product segment. Marketing has obviously over-emphasized the difference between a 7.05 oz. and an 8.11 oz. jar. At least the new jar doesn't say it's "DELICUOUS". But there were some other differences that we weren't necessarily expecting.

Main Flavor Elements
  • Chili
  • Sesame
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Soybean Rapeseed
  • Solids to oil ratio: Moderately high (> 60% per label)
  • Flavor Enhancer: MSG None listed
  • Potential allergens: Sesame, soy, peanut
  • Storage: Store in cool, dry place; Refrigerate after opening
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Moderate
  • Texture: Mostly sesame seed and chili flake
  • Saltiness: Low (540mg. per 46gm.)

The first thing we noticed was that the ingredient list on Amazon, for both the old and new packaging, was vastly different from that on the jar. This, despite the listing reassuring us that nothing but the size had changed. Assuming a listing error, we checked the company website but found the identical list. The new list is rather vague, and had we seen it instead, we might have very well passed on this one. See what we thought we were getting below.

Firstly, it's now rapeseed oil-based, rather than soybean oil. Also absent are peanuts, sugar and MSG. The solids are dense enough to keep the copious sesame seeds mixed in reasonably well. We dislike when they all float to the top and the last half of a jar has virtually none left.

The heat of the pepper doesn't hit right away, but gives more of a low-key afterburn. Nothing in the way of Sichuan pepper numbness, really. If there's any in there, it's not explicitly listed. The label says "Shaanxi specialty", and that north-central province's cuisine and geographical location are both Sichuan adjacent.

Overall, we were largely unimpressed. We were looking forward to a rounder experience the peanut and sugar might have brought, as well as perhaps a bit more umami from some MSG. We're categorizing this one as a chili oil due to the lack of garlic, onion, or actually any of the typical chili crisp umami vectors.

Ingredients

Rapeseed oil, red chili peppers, sesame, edible salt, flavoring essence.

First grade soybean oil, pepper powder, peanut kernel, sesame, edible salt, MSG, sugar, spices.

Published on Leave a comment on Chuannan Spicy King Chili Oil

This Chuannan Spicy King Chili Oil came from the same Asian market where we purchased the chili oil crisp version. Close attention must be paid as, at first glance, one might miss the differences in the Chinese characters on the label. Otherwise the jars look remarkably similar.

Chuannan Spicy King Chili Oil jar
Chuannan Spicy King Chili Oil label

Translating the label, the vertical ribbon says "Authentic Sichuan flavor". The oval logo and top line both read "Chuān Nán" or "Southern Sichuan", while the large characters read 香 "xiāng, fragrant", 辣 "là, spicy", 王 "wáng, king" = "Fragrant Spicy King". The line below that says "spicy oil" or "chili oil", which is also the main line on the Chuannan Chili Oil Crisp label. Not confusing at all. Some online vendors nickname this version "Spicy King". We'll call it that, too, as it literally says that. For an in-depth exploration of the subject, see Decoding Chinese Chili Crisp Labels.

Main Flavor Elements
  • Chili
  • Onion
  • Peanut
  • Sichuan peppercorn
  • Sesame
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): rapeseed (canola)
  • Solids to oil ratio: High
  • Flavor Enhancer: MSG, IMP,GMP
  • Potential allergens: soy, sesame, peanut
  • Storage: Refrigerate after opening
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Incendiary
  • Texture: Chewy pepper
  • Saltiness: Moderately high

This has sesame seeds, which the Chuannan Chili Oil Crisp lacks. The ratio of solids to oil is so high, however, that they don't all float to the top like some others. The heat level of each product is about the same, although this one might be a little hotter. The peanut is chopped very fine here, so its crunch is not as pronounced. The sweetness from the sugar is more forward in this version, as well.

We'd make the same assessment of this one as we did the other: it might not be an everyday or every situation go-to, but when you want the heat, it's got it.

Ingredients

Rapeseed oil (non-GMO)(60%), chili pepper, soybean, peanut, salt, sugar, onion, MSG, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide, sesame, Sichuan peppercorn, flavoring, spices

Published on Leave a comment on Trader Joe’s Crunchy Salsa Macha

We bought this Trader Joe's Crunchy Salsa Macha on a whim months ago. It was under $5 for the 6 oz. jar, a decent price if it was good. So was it?

Trader Joe's Crunchy Salsa Macha jar
Main Flavor Elements
  • Mostly the nuts, seeds
  • Salt
Snapshot
  • Base oil(s): Olive oil
  • Solids to oil ratio: High
  • Flavor Enhancer: Natural
  • Potential allergens: Sesame
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place
Our Impressions
  • Heat level: Low
  • Texture: Crunchy, by way of seeds and nuts
  • Saltiness: Low (90mg. per 15g.)

Another of the few olive oil-based ones we've seen, which we liked. There's a load of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and pepitas. But we were quite surprised to see how little chili pepper there was in this supposed "salsa macha". The flavor here is mainly seed nuts and salt. There is little to nothing in the way of heat or spice. Pequin chile pepper, far down the list of ingredients, is barely detectable unless tasting the condiment exclusively on its own.

TJ's has another product called Crunchy Chili Onion that comes far closer to being a salsa macha. Having said that, there must be a place for this product in the world of infused oil condiments, but we aren't really sure where that is. Still, we kinda like it anyway.

We can't in good conscience categorize this as a salsa macha, so we're calling it a Crunchy Oil instead.
