Chilli crisp is a quick way to add heat, savoury flavour and crunchy texture to everyday food. Start with a small spoonful, taste, then add more if you want a stronger chilli kick.
1. Finish a bowl of noodles
Spoon chilli crisp over cooked noodles just before serving. It works with instant noodles, stir-fried noodles and simple sesame noodles.
2. Wake up plain rice
Add a little to steamed rice, fried rice or a rice bowl. A fried egg and sliced spring onion make an easy meal.
3. Serve it with eggs
Try chilli crisp on fried, scrambled, poached or boiled eggs. The oil adds flavour while the crisp pieces add texture.
4. Make a dumpling dip
Mix a spoonful with soy sauce and a splash of rice vinegar. Adjust each ingredient to taste and check labels for allergens.
5. Add it to soup
Swirl a small amount into noodle soup, broth or congee at the table so everyone can choose their own heat level.
6. Finish roasted vegetables
Drizzle it over roasted broccoli, cauliflower, aubergine, green beans or sweet potato after cooking.
7. Stir it through mayonnaise
Combine chilli crisp with mayonnaise for a quick dip or sandwich spread. It works well with chips, wraps and burgers.
8. Upgrade a toastie
Add a light layer to a cheese toastie, grilled sandwich or savoury breakfast roll before serving.
9. Spoon it over pizza
Use chilli crisp as a finishing condiment on pizza, flatbread or garlic bread instead of ordinary chilli oil.
10. Brighten leftovers
A spoonful can bring new texture and heat to leftover grains, vegetables, roast meat or a simple packed lunch.
