Momofuku Chili Crunch Review

March 26, 2026March 19, 2026 by Flavor Index Lab Team
Momofuku Chili Crunch jar front label — Flavor Index Lab

Momofuku Chili Crunch leads with sweetness — coconut sugar and grape seed oil create a honey-butter opening that masks the chili underneath. Phil’s verdict: AVERAGE.

Fly By Jing Xtra Crunchy Chili Crisp Review

The jar is almost entirely solids — beans, seeds, shallots, chili bits. Less oil than any other FBJ. Here’s whether that trade-off is worth it.

Phil tests Fly By Jing’s Xtra Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp — a 6 oz jar with Sichuan peppercorn-forward heat that builds and sticks. Honest label read, texture notes, and a verdict on whether the extra heat is worth it.

Fly By Jing Sweet and Spicy Sichuan Chili Sauce Review

Fly By Jing Sweet and Spicy Sichuan Chili Sauce jar — Flavor Index Lab

Fly By Jing calls this a chili sauce, not a chili crisp — and the jar delivers exactly that. Thick, syrupy, plum-forward sweet heat with a clean ingredient list. Tier: GOOD.

Fly By Jing’s original Sichuan Chili Crisp has the best aroma and flavor complexity I’ve tested. The problem: the solids in the jar aren’t the crispy kind. An honest ingredient-first look at what you’re actually buying.
