Fly by Jing reviews and discussion

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!

The Sichuan chili crisp goes well on everything. It adds the perfect amount of depth and heat to a dish. I find myself adding it to every meal and have repurchased this so many times. Everything I've tried from Fly by Jing is excellent.

Can't get much better than this! I thought the Trader Joe's chili onion crisp was good, and then I tried this and never looked back. It's packed with flavor, is filled with so much product, and the packaging is so fun. LOVE this, I put it on everything.

I like the chili oils. It's good quality. I like the clean ingredients. It is spicy, but possibly less hot than other Asian spices. I like that there's a few flavors so it's not just spice heat, but also a taste of something fusiony.

Why is this so delicious? I just ate with a side of Trader Joe's Japanese fried rice and dumplings covered in this with a little hoisin sauce. Perfect for a lazy midweek meal that still tastes and looks premium - and especially if you love a kick of heat!

I've tried many of Fly by Jing's sauces... and I have her cookbook. While pricey, I love the complex flavors of everything Fly by Jing makes. I especially love the packages of Tribute peppers they sell. SO many sichuan peppercorns you get at the store are almost cardboard... or they only have a tiny bit of that numbing sensation that is so incredible in Sichuan food. The Fly by Jing peppers are the only ones I've bought since discovering them. (And you don't need to use as many in a recipe to get a powerful numbing result!!)

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.

I got this forever ago on Thingtesting and it took me a while to get to it as I was using other sauces I had on hand. But to be honest - everyone ranted and raved about this one and I have to say I dont really get it. I find the original sauces from the Asian market to be more flavorful and have more heat to them. I don't think I'd repurchase this. The packaging is amazing - love it - but i can't say this product is the best for me.

This stuff is so dang good. When I first tried it, I was blown away by how much flavor is packed in and the spiciness is not overpowering but pairs with the flavor perfectly. Essential to top your noodles with! So good!!

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.

You can’t have chili crisps without msg. I really enjoy the extra spicy chili crisps with some vanilla ice cream. It’s so yummy. I find it easy to add more flavor to my meats and rice bowls. There is a lot of depth of flavor in each jar.

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.

Such good chili crisp oil. It has all the emblematic flavors one expects from chili crisp — spicy, crunchy, aromatic, citrusy. It’s a consistent repurchase, and despite the high price, I find that a jar lasts close to a year so not a huge concern.

This is our absolute favorite, we put this on everything. I’ve tried a lot of other brands and this is the best by far, best quality best flavor. It’s a kitchen staple we always have it in our kitchen

I've been purchasing the Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly By Jing for a number of years now. It is my go-to for this sauce and it is pretty mild. It is not overpowering and is the perfect amount of crunchy.

Bought a holiday gift set including two sauces and one spice. Tasty. As far as the chili crisp I actually like Trader Joe’s better which I hate to say. Makes a nice gift and I’ll try more products in the future.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy this chili crisp hot oil but I would say it’s more along the lines of a garlic crisp/oil flavor add than a true Asian chili oil. But as someone who always has multiple brands of chili oils in their fridge, I still use this one when I’m seeking the garlic profile and tend to mix it with my other OGs like LGM.

Bought a gift set for my husband three Christmas seasons ago and now he is totally hooked. He loves all the products, but he especially loves the chili flakes and puts them on vanilla ice cream for a sweet/spicy punch!
