Fly by Jing earns strong reviews as a flavorful, versatile pantry staple that elevates noodles, dumplings, eggs, and more, with standouts like the Sichuan Chili Crisp and Zhong Sauce delivering complex umami, balanced heat, and satisfying texture. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: the sauces can skew oily with inconsistent crunch, milder-than-expected spice for some, jar leakage and messy lids, and flavor comparisons that don’t always beat traditional brands.
I’ve stayed away from Fly by Jing since the texture of chile solids are a big turn off for me. I had what seemed like hand-pulled noodles at a demo, but didn’t like how they seemed to be skinny Mafalda instead. Maybe I’ll try a packet of a different flavor.
This chili crisp is so good! It has a great balance of spice, crunch, and flavor without being too overpowering. I love adding it to noodles, rice, dumplings, and pretty much anything that could use a little extra kick. Definitely a pantry staple and something I'll keep buying!
I grabbed the Fly By Jing sweet & spicy chilli crunch on a whim at wholefoods and now I’m kind of obsessed. I’m not into super spicy stuff, so this is perfect — just enough heat but heaps of flavour. I’ve been adding it to everything and it somehow makes even the laziest meals taste great.
The Zhong sauce wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, it’s a little sweeter. It’s good, but I don’t find myself gravitating toward it too much. I don’t think I will buy the Zhong sauce again, but do want to try the other sauces from Fly by Jing!
