The Spicy Duo

Fly By Jing was one of the first big DTC disrupters during early COVID, and they’ve really written the playbook for how a brand can go from niche to mainstream without losing its edge. I’m a total convert. I buy in bulk, I’ve got their merch, I gift their products to friends, and I keep the minis at my desk at work. The flavors are bold, addictive, and completely elevate even the simplest meals. It’s not just good marketing (though they’ve nailed that too); the products truly deliver.

This stuff is delicious. I love the sweet and spicy one. The hot version is HOT. It has so much flavor and rich umami. I love all the different flavors and products that they have now. Definitely would try anything they make. Great for cooking with, as a topping, or a dip.

Really delicious without compromising on spice! I’ve used both the original chili crisp and the zhong sauce (now called the sweet and spicy sichuan chili sauce), and I love them both. I’ll use them on eggs, veggies, mixed into rice or a bread of your choosing (like a scallion pancake or a pita), on burritos, etc. They’re definitely pricier, but I like what the brand is doing for Asian cuisine without watering down the traditional flavors. And if you’re not near an Asian grocery store/don’t buy online, I’ve seen their products in Whole Foods. The packaging is also super fun, and the amount in the jars is easy enough to get through without being in your fridge for forever! Giving it a 4 mostly because I’m fine with getting a cheaper alternative at my local Asian grocery store.

Bottom line they are delicious. Approachable modern brand that brings Asian/Chinese sauces to more folks, which i can always get behind. Love to drizzle these on dumplings or even instant noodle. Easy way to add some flavor to quick, boring meals.
