chili crisp
Crunchy hot condiment
Chili crisp is a condiment of Chinese origin made from chili flakes, oil, and crunchy bits—typically fried garlic, shallots, and sometimes peanuts or Sichuan peppercorns.
It delivers heat, texture, and savory depth all at once.
Originally a regional preparation, it became a global pantry staple in the 2010s: I put chili crisp on everything now.
