Get the fucking in here everyone, this is finally happening!https://youtu.be/FJQyurN6ASU?si=0bUNK9BXNHzf71-9Who is going to come out on top? I'll be rating each in terns of scent, colour, texture, spiciness, overall flavour profile, and seasoning.
good God you're a retard
First up, we've got the Laoganma Hot Chili Oil, which is thick paste of chilli flakes and peppercorns and is for some reason adorned with peanuts.Second is the Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil. It's a bit oilier and consists of finely ground chilli flakes, peppercorns, and seeds.And third, the Laoganma Crispy Chilli Oil which is filled with bark mulch and soy beans which I think are fermented or something.
>>21582021Laoganma Hot Chili Oil has a gentle roasted smell, doesn't smell spicy or heavily seasoned. Pretty thick, the peanuts are interesting.
>>21582026The Lee Kum Kee offering is interesting in that the colour is quite pallid by comparison. Has more oil but it's thick, nice fine texture, smells spicy and bright with seasoning.
>>21582031And finally the Laoganma Crispy Chilli Oil. Nice closeup of the bark and beenz. It fucking stinks like actual human sewage.
>>21582033Down the hatch with Laoganma Hot Chili OilSlightly bitter, decent light spiciness which is nice, very pleasant texture and the peanuts add another dimension. Very bland in terms of seasoning, it does contain MSG but I'm not really detecting any salt flavour.
>>21582041And the Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli OilRoasted chilli flavour is nice, the flakes aren't nearly as crisp and crunchy, nice texture. A huge blast of salt which is amazing or terrible depending on your preference for that. Similar spiciness, very bright flavour though. This oyer wants to be remembered.
>>21582045And finally, the Laoganma Crispy Chilli OilSimilar roasted bitter undertones as the other Laoganma offering. Very funky flavour with the soybeans, also very little salt again and probably less spicy than the others. The flavour is much more complex than the others in that it's not bright or spicy or salty, but very savoury and rich. It tastes pretty terrible though imho and the bark bits look like scrap plastic that was meant for recycling.
>>21582049The verdict?Laoganma Hot Chili Oil - 6.5/10Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil - 8/10Laoganma Crispy Chilli Oil - 4/10And that's that. I'll be open for banter and Q&A for a few more minutes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjxf-eQWKoo
>>21582051Appreciate the reviews, I’ve never really liked Lao Gan Ma just because the lady on the front looks so bored
>>21582153it looks like an unwanted daughter that barely survived the suffocation and grew to adult hood as a dull retard who is made to stir the chilli oil day and night
Why would you eat this honestly?
>>21582165To be honest I'm not sure. I go through my jar very slowly. The LKK one is very salty so if you plan your meal accordingly it can be quite complimentary to nuder or stir fries and even just plain rice. Anything that you'll be adding spice, garlic, salt, and oil to anyway you can just use some of this to cover all bases. It's good, but not nearly as whonderful or useful as the internet memefactory seems to imply.>>21582017https://youtu.be/LVbJ6Bl73oU?si=NoqB7DoLvaAxwtF2
>>21582011>this post is begging or advertising
>>21582301chilli oil is a daily thread topic on this board anon. I'm simply trying to post some original content and address a popular and commonly discussed, and debated, product.
>>21582304>daily threadFuck off, newfag.
>>21582311give us this day our daily threadand forgive us our trespassesas we forgive those who trespass against us
>>21582045>Similar spicinessreally? i find LKK much spicier than Laoganma which is why i prefer it. its oil ratio is way higher and the chili is more of a jam than crisp. i usually just use the oil until the jar is more even
>>21582349yeah actually you're right, I was being a bit moderate but it is spicier. the first LGM one I tried was spicier than that second one. That second one tastes like it's made of shit.
ßump
Try this one, it's better than all of those.
>>21583306Would if I could anon! I have never seen it but maybe I'll keep an eye out, there are a couple proper Asian markets nearby that I could check
pænuts
I just buy extra spicy momofuku at Sprouts now. More expensive but It saves me a trip to the gutteroil market and my shits aren't LGM greasy anymore.
>>21583306that the one with the rock hard peanut shards? fuck it.
>>21584380I wish I had a non-asian origin option
>>21584398David Chang is a fgr and Kraft has their fingers in (at least) the distribution but it's pretty damn good. Just tried their Taiwanese air dried noodles too. Very tasty.
>>21584398make your own then, takes 20 minutes
>>21582165Its literally Lawrys for chinks who cant cook good, unless you add it into your dishes before cooking, then its like goya sazon for chinkywinkyst. gook
>>21583306based, every time we have a chili oil thread i shill that shit
>>21584478i fear for botulism
>>21584478yeah but it's not just chili flakes, it's also szechuan peppercorns, garlic (if you're making it good), salt and maybe some other stuff. and then you want to toast it but not burn it and then you have to store it in a way where the oil doesn't go rancid and frankly this is already kind of a pain. maybe if I ate it often I could stock up on the simple ingredients and make small batches from time to time. but, I just don't eat it enough.
>>21586506Oh wow chili pepper garlic salt IM GOING INSANEEEEEEEE
>>21586509i don't want to buy all this shit just to use small amounts of it to mix with ölle while the rest stays in the cupboard for years. it's just not worth it for me. I'll also never make my own ketchup or butter
>>21586510If managing some spices in the cupboard is too difficult for you then i guess you deserve the chinese sewage slop.
>>21586522I guess so
