Is this the real lao gan ma? It tastes like I'm eating a fish on stick over fire wtf it's disgusting
Did you stir and shake it properly? The flavor kinda settles at the bottom.
I'm not crazy>>22150998I pushed a long spoon to the bottom and stirred
>>22151029Stir more, you have to move the bottom to the top
>>22150989i've had nice jars and terrible jars, very inconsistent, mostly bad to meh>>22151029lee kum kee chili oil is a lot hotter, more oil to chili, but the flakes arent crispyimo i much prefer this. both great on pizza
>>22150989Just buy an ad already. You make this thread every other day.
yeah it tastes like rancid gutter oil. I've tried multiple jars thinking it was a bad batch. nope. it's just a terrible product.
>>22151722This has been my experience as well. Genuinely just a fully unpleasant experience every time, feeling like I was eating something that had spoiled. I assume at this point that chinese are simply retarded and will eat whatever.
>>22150998Holy shit thank you anonIt's like night and day
>>22151047You were right. Fishy taste went from a 10 to a 7 and it's sweeter now. I still don't get it, but at least it doesn't make me puke
>>22150989It's probably the soybean oil. I've noticed it with plain soybean oil before too. Apparently it's because it has a lot of omega 3 and it breaks down over time producing a fishy smell and flavor.
Japanese ones taste better
>>22151071Not OP but I also find Lao gan ma has a weird off taste. I also think your pic rel Lee Kum Kee chili oil has a strange off taste. The only jarred chili crisp I've liked is Momofuku and Fly by Jing and a Japanese one I can't remember.
you're not supposed to eat the oil
>>22151720>Just buy an ad alreadythey did. you're in it.
>purchase asian product>nooo why is it fishy i hate fish?
>>22150989Its not your faultGlobalism taught you that there is an endless variety of food out there that will be pleasing to you and you merely need to add it to your online shopping basket and checkout.The fact remains that you were raised in a particular culture with your particular genes inherited from your ancestors. It would be silly to assume just because you can go to Amazon and buy foreign foods, you will like all of them.
>>22150989Just make it yourself by pouring smoking hot oil on chopped pepers.
>>22151071This. On a cold day I love this with the frozen wonton soup by CP(why the fuck would you name your company this?!).
>>22156973yo this nigga buyin CP
>>22156973Why would YOU immediately start pretending?
If you're buying Lao Gan Ma in rural bumfuck nowhere America, yeah its probably old.I'm closer to the Asian communities and my Lao Gan Ma tastes exquisite so maybe buy online or make it yourself?
>>22154278for me it's
>>22157019but s&b has the crunch of almond chips, for around the safe price, its simply better
>>22150989There's secretly two types of the standard Lao gan ma crispy chilli oil. There's one that's soy based with soy bean oil, or this one that's rapeseed oil or whatever your country calls it, it's 0% something, 0% joy because it sucks ass.The soybean oil version I'm a huge fan of but this 0% one blows, use it in broths and sauces to get through it
>>22150989Fishy flavor is due to the oil being rancid.Seed oils go rancid very quickly. In fact, they're typically made rancid by the manufacturing process, which includes deodorization to cover up the fact they're already rancid when they hit the stores.
>>22157077perhaps, but only momo is readily available for me
>>22150989that shit is the foulmost gutterproduct I've ever tasted>>22151071now this shit is my go-to. such a burst of flavour.
>>22157806guys there is only one version you can eat, "Peanuts in Chilli Oil" it tastes different than the bean stuff, and has some better parts of the "Crispy" stuff in it.Also be aware of short Lifecycle of this glasses, sadly and contrary to the ingridients it gets rotten from my experience, buy a fresh one.
I was ready to sneer at OP for being a tastelet but fuck he's right, I just had some and shit is bad.
Lee Kum Kee is disgusting. Lao Gan Ma solos low diff fr
>>22151071le cum gay chads
