I see that Lao Gan Ma is very popular, but it's very difficult to come by in my area.
I found this one, seems to be the bean based one

It’s crispy fried peppers in oil. Tasty but not too spicy if that’s what you’re after.

The disappointed Chinese grandma oil is really good. I’m not a huge fan of the peanuts though
ChalkLicker
yes, it’s the real deal. and a LOT cheaper than all of the new, boutique chili crisp/oils out there. it is a solid first choice.
dc7singko
Yes yes yes! Chili fried eggs!!!
Fry couple of spoonful in a pan, then add egg and fry pver easy as usual

If Brian David Gilbert and his pepcorn are anything to go off of, absolutely yes.

I work for a company who delivers all the products for the kitchen to mostly the asian restaurant. This is one of the most authentic ones and a lot of restaurants buy this!

It’s not good, it’s great!
mr_markkula
Good enough to baptize my first-born in it.
badaimbadjokes
So super good. The best of the bunch. Delicious, versatile, and something I was cry if I could no longer have it in rotation as things I cook with often.
Verbose_Cactus
It’s fire
MattBonne
Yes it’s good, however, there’s a very recent news in China, people transport industrial and food oil using the same truck tank without cleaning in between. I would avoid any products in oil from china

I’ve tried the crispy chilli and it was really delicious! Not sure about the bean version.
ApexTwilight
Holy fuck yes omg I can’t believe I scrolled down to this. YES YES YES YES!!!! it seems super spicy at first but now I put 1/4 to 1/3 of the jar in some of my soups like ramen and cabbage soup. 10/10 would recommend.
junkonejo
It’s really good and sometimes you can get it flavored and with extra things like peanuts or mushrooms, totally recommended

This is the S tier chili oil and the only one I would buy

This is the cream of the crop. There is no better.
mug_O_bun
Absolutely! Put that on everything! On fried rice, cottage cheese on toast, tacos, eggs, pretty much you name it. Delicious!

That’s the one we use.

I work in China and I buy this all the time. In fried rice or noodles it’s amazing!

Ayo I just got this last week to try. Since then I’ve been putting it on everything! Get the small jar, try it and once you run out go for the big one. It’s crack!

Yes
backwoodsjesus91
I use this stuff in everything I can manage to use it in. Just bought a new jar yesterday actually. It just makes every little thing better.

Respect Laoganma. The OG.

It’s not terribly hot but has a ton of umami from what I think are little crunchy soy beans in it. It’s great on top of pretty much any rice or noodle dish, imo. I put it on eggs from time to time as well.
ilovecorbin
It’s very popular. I personally don’t like the flavor of it. It has a very umami taste
heresmyhandle
Yes!!!!

This is a solid chili oil on my opinion ! I love the garlic touch to this one specifically. You also do not need a whole lot!
