Lee Kum Kee
Chiu Chow Chili Oil
The gateway jar that started the Gang. Cheap, everywhere, and still beats jars 4x the price.
S Holy Duck
Chili Oil (OG, Lava & Vegan)
An unduckingly unbelievable experience. The duck fat richness makes everything else taste flat.
Lee Kum Kee
Fiery Dried Shrimp Chili Oil
Dried shrimp turns the umami up to eleven, and it runs hotter than the classic Chiu Chow.
