great black bean based chili crisp - umami, but not too spicy (more fragrant than anything)
I hate rating it this low, but the sauce was just fine for all the hype it gets, and the jar is the actual worst. There's no lip or anything to catch any drips, and after only opening it once, it got oil all in my cabinets.
It was okay - honestly didn't live up to the hype I've seen or heard about it. For a chili sauce, it was underwhelming and surprisingly flavorless. Feel like it could use more a punch.
LOVE the zhong sauce it's soooo good <3 also tried the sichuan chili crisps and theyre good too. theyre also sold at costco now
Nom Nom! So Good - there's a lot of competition out there but this one doesn't disappoint.
I thought Fly by Jing was going to be another overhyped, of-the-moment company, but DAMN. That chili crisp sauce is one of my new fav things in the kitchen now.
I got a 3-pack gift set for xmas. It's just as delicious.& versatile as everyone raves about. Incredible, and worth the $$ for sure.
Love this chili crisp! It has a nice smoky flavor but is well balanced with the spice and overall umami flavor. It's also not too spicy for those who are worried about the spice level. Plus, the texture is provides a great little crunch to it. Can't recommend this enough! I have gut sensitivity to garlic and onions but don't care because the flavor and texture of this makes it worth it.
Starting to see these in Costco now for those looking to get a larger jar.
I think the chili crisp is not what I expected, but I still enjoy it. More black-bean-flavor-forward, and doesn't have that numbing tingly sensation that I've come to love in sichuan flavors. The jar is mostly oil, with chili crisp constituting less than half the jar. I use the oil for cooking and it adds some nice flavor! The chili crisp goes on anything and everything for me: toasts, meats, veggies, etc. Note: I purchased mine at Costco.
Jar was extremely difficult to open.
Distinct taste and sets itself apart from other chili crisps on the market!
My customers love Fly by Jing. It's a great entry point for people who are new to chili oil and crisps but still want something with a unique flavor.
So yummy. The sauce literally makes any meal like 10x better
