Tao Huabi started as a street vendor selling noodles and sauce to students near her hometown in the southern Chinese province of Guizhou. In the mid-1990s, she began to bottle her sauces. She became a billionaire.
Sam Sifton, in the Times: “It’s magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish.”
Amazon reviewer #1: “I read somewhere a post that the person liked it so much that they put it on everything. I ordered it and put it on rice. Next I topped my yellow fin tuna with it. I add it to salad. I’ve used it as dop for bread. Yes, I see how this can go on anything. Despite its look, it’s not spicy. It’s crunchy and flavorful and when I originally bought two, my thought was to keep one and give the other as a gift. I kept them both.”
Amazon reviewer #2: “Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp Sauce is the condiment that you did not realize you are missing and once you try it you never want to go without. The 7.42 oz bottle looks ideal for use and then you realize you are almost halfway finished the bottle! Or at least that is what I found out! The chili oil is spicy, sweet, crispy (and no joke – it maintains its crispy texture!), savory, and well balanced. Some of its ingredients include soybean oil, chili, fermented soybean, and monosodium glutamate. I have put it on scrambled eggs, omelettes, pho, ramen noodles, fried chicken, beef, white rice, and vegetables. I have eaten it straight out of the bottle because it tastes this good! Honestly, the spicy chili crisp compliments everything! I envisioned fire and brimstone after seeing all the chilis but it is not as spicy as I had imagined — it did not blow off my head. It also does not have a vinegar accent or presence like other chili-based sauces out there.
