Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chilli Crisp (老干妈, also written Laoganma) is the original Chinese crispy chilli oil from Guizhou, China. Each jar is packed with crunchy fried chilli and onion with fermented soybeans in a rich, savoury oil with a gentle tingle of Sichuan pepper, so it adds heat, crunch and umami in one spoonful.

FAQs

How hot is it?

Most people find it a medium heat. Start with a teaspoon and add more to taste.

How should I store it?

Keep the jar somewhere cool and dark once opened and always use a clean spoon. Refrigerating helps it keep longer; let it warm up before use if the oil firms.

Does it contain peanuts?

The Spicy Chilli Crisp recipe does not list peanuts. If you'd like peanuts, choose Lao Gan Ma Chilli Sauce with Peanut. Always check the jar label if you have an allergy.

Is Laoganma the same as Lao Gan Ma?

Yes, they're the same brand. Lao Gan Ma means "Old Godmother".
