Delicious umami crunch
The flavor in this chili crisp is incredibly rich and savory, a true umami bomb. I especially love the satisfying crunch from all the bits at the bottom. It’s perfect for adding depth to any meal.
In the realm of chili crisps, this one is more savory than spicy, with a beautiful depth of flavor. It goes well with everything. Just make sure to get some of the crunchy bits at the bottom along with every spoonful. We know Connie Chung from her days as the sous chef at the legendary three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park. In fact, she deserves most of the credit for getting our spices on the menu! If you had a chance to dine there, you might have even had our coriander on their roast duck . While New York was closed down due to the pandemic, Connie and her partners were hard at work setting up Milu , a casual eatery inspired by historic Hong Kong–style cafes, just a block away from her old gig. The menu features delicious dishes like Yunnan Brisket, Sichuan Spiced Cauliflower, and Pineapple Buns. Connie knew she wanted to make her own chili crisp from scratch at Milu, and we were more than happy to collaborate. The result is a chili crisp that's nutty, crunchy, spicy, savory. It incorporates our Black Urfa Chili, Silk Chili, Robusta Black Pepper, Wild Mountain Cumin, Cloud Forest Cardamom and more.

This tastes more like flavored oil than a chili crisp, it lacks the kick I expect.
I love how savory this chili crisp is, with a really nice deep flavor profile instead of just heat. The crunchy bits are essential and make every bite satisfying. It's a wonderful condiment to have on hand.
This adds such a rich, savory layer to any meal.
The flavor is good, definitely savory and with those crunchy bits, which I appreciate. However, it's really mild, almost too mild for a chili crisp. I was hoping for a bit more heat.
