Glad to hear he dropped it and at least apologized. It was beyond ridiculous from the get-go. 🤦 I couldn't even believe it when I first heard it. Like when the React channel tried to trademark the whole KZbin-React formula. You didn't come up with it, not even close, what gives you the right to try and claim it for yourself? Honestly.

[@AlistairGale]

I just wish Craig Ferguson was still on the air to call David Chang a jerk.

[@BlackTigr]

@@AlistairGale I used to think he was a chill dude, someone that would be cool to hang with. I honestly don't know what went through his head, to genuinely think that: 1. This is a good idea 2. This could totally work And 3. This won't backfire on me and my brand.

[@ilikewatchingfood]

its too fundamental and at the same time, too varied to have any one manifestation seen as prototypical

[@AlistairGale]

@@ilikewatchingfood Hi Bot, I’m gonna suggest that you take a long walk off a short pier. Unless your name is Geoff Peterson, then we can talk.

yess i love her!!

[@robtucker6303]

Same… there’s only a few channels that really makes me feel this way. Choo Choo’s Story is another one ❤ I don’t comment often but I always feel good after watching the videos and reading the comments… but I usually leave hungry 😅

[@Delielliebird]

Them: How much chilli crunch would you like? Inga: Yes 😂

[@sovversiva7]

Italian here: I am guilty of pimping my carbonara with spicy nduja sometimes, so I totally get how the chili crunch works there for you! Not traditional but if it tastes good, it tastes good!

[@dbest7]

I love this format and would love to see more vids like it! All of them feel super achievable too which is great for people like me who feel too exhausted to cook a majority of the time

[@heiseisoul]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! My brother gifted me an entire set of 9 jars of different flavored chili crunches so I can't wait to use them all up like this!

[@IngaLam]

i’m so excited for you omg

[@nel5559]

The names for these dishes are so creative! I love them. You've made me want to try all nine, hopefully within the next week...

[@IngaLam]

i'll be waiting for an update!! 🌝

[@nel5559]

@@IngaLam I'll be sure to update you as they all look delicious :)

[@Delielliebird]

They can't claim the chili crunch name!!!

[@Cadmeus]

The first time I fried an egg with Lao Gan Ma I knew I would never be able to go back. So good! It's like one of those things that makes you annoyed no one told you sooner.

[@stevenmichael4042]

When I'm about to finish off a jar of pickles I drain the juice, throw some chili crunch in that bad boy and then shake it up! I also throw it on salads with whatever dressing I'm using. I've been on a chili crunch kick the past couple of months so this video is perfect!

[@jellysams]

Oh this is a great idea!! I go through so many jars of pickles

[@HawkinDove]

Now you gave me great ideas for chilly garlic recipe. And yes, in the Philippines, we call it chilly garlic. It just blows my mind that there's more to just chilly and garlic. The diversity of these chilli crunch mixes!

[@SirenaBesos]

Chili crisp + eggs is one of my favorites! Love all these new takes! Can't wait to try them. thank you!

[@polyfamlife8531]

I ate an entire jar of chili crisp in 1 week with my eggs.

I love chili, but I have never had chili crunch before. The spicy carbonara looks stunning. I need to make that. Thanks for showing so many varieties! They all look amazing, especially the presentation/plating you make.

Thank you so much for this. I bought a jar of chilli crisp last month, and trying to find out new ways I can use it other than putting it in my noodles & pasta. These are some great inspirational recipes

Hi Inga! I love your videos - they are so informative! Would you consider making an in-depth video on all the ways and forms of tofu you like to eat/cook with? I know A.T.E. has 'tofu 4 ways' video but I love tofu and I cook with it a lot so I'd love to see how you enjoy it :)

Aw yis, more chili crunch on top of all that chili crunch.

[@ilovetocook128]

I am the biggest chili crisp/ chili crunch fan!!! Thanks for making a video on this! Also, may I recommend KariKari chili crisp! It is magical truly. Garlicky, spicy, crunchy, it’s the best!

[@RebeccaH43]

These all looked fantastic and yummy 😋 my heartburn would not allow me to have spicy 🥵 still looks amazing though. Thank you for sharing 😁

[@lawnjart16]

I just recently bought the Homiah. I like the taste of the shrimp more, but the seaweed is more versatile (if I don't want the shrimp taste). I think I am doing the compound butter this weekend

[@teri8784]

after today, i had to google what is "chili crunch" i mean - back in southeast asia its literally just means sambal to us.....i'm completely mindblown by the fact on trying to "trademark" shame on them. that said, homiah sambal - you do us malaysian proud. now i'm really craving for spicy food and its midnight hahaha. (time for outside supper!)

[@koann7862]

The compound butter idea is such a good idea!! Thank you for all that inspiration, will definitely try them out!

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

I definitely need that chili crunch! Yum

[@christinaclark9754]

I found a Thai sweet chili sauce several months ago that I am addicted to. I will use it to make my own spicy ramen and add american cheese at the end. It creates an awesome spicy creamy sauce that is really good. It's my favorite way to have ramen!

[@rae4787]

This video made me so hungry ❤

[@sarahwatts7152]

I LOVE the Fly By Jing regular chili crisp, I get it whenever I find it on sale

[@VerhoevenSimon]

I was baffled when I read that claim... Thank you for the cozy video, and the inspiration. Especially the salad looks like a must try.

[@genechan]

Inga! It's time to sell your own chili crunch. You have your own line of them already with all these recipes. Go Tokyo Paolo and sell those chilli's girl!

[@MissConfusedBunny]

I loved these recipes and the names of each dish. The naming reminds me of how Jena from the movie/musical, Waitress, names her pies.

[@matthodek]

I do not have any chili crunch sitting about (I have, like, 5% of your spice tolerance...), but I always love to see your practical creativity. Ok, maybe you have convinced me to at least try it... 😅

[@maybe_mandala]

Made your chili crisp carbonara today and it was divine. Consider it Italian approved.

[@marco24117]

The first dish (aglio e olio) has a variation called aglio, olio e peperoncino, which use the chili in the beginning of the recipe. So that's almost a traditional way to do that (because theres no parsley on the recipe and also all the ingredients are fresh)

[@WayAlpha101]

Yess, one of my favourite breakfasts to eat is avocado toast with a chilli oil fried egg. I've found recently a Nepalese version of sichuan btw, you should try to find and try it as well. It's called "Timur". That, with some salt and sesame oil in the fried egg are solid

[@Jocrazyface]

I put chili crunch in almost every leftover pasta dish. It's such an easy way to switch up the flavor!

[@kaitojhh]

being indonesian i never thought about putting sambal in mac and cheese cus if i crave it then i just straight up want mac and cheese but then i remember how i always end up dousing it in hot sauce anyway

[@nicoleward8839]

I will give it a try.

[@harrymorley9743]

You are talking my love language. Love this. 💗

i need to make that brie right now!!

[@johnnylchalk2370]

I needed this video❤

[@sealw4ll]

I have never made carbonara, but i will now with that recipe :D

[@RagingStormm]

It is really interesting to see different types of recipes with such low effort. I wonder if it is really spicy or not because since I arrived in Europe I lost the habit to eat spicy. Does chilli crunch really really spicy? And do you have advice to reduce the "heat" ? I know that personally I use coconut milk. PS: I love the vibe of inga's video, it feels like home you know

[@DavidDarnes]

This such a good ad for chilli crunch 🤤

[@Aspatiaa]

I had no idea there were so many types of chili crunch sauces. I thought this video would just be different ways to use Lao Gan Ma. I must be living under a rock.

[@like_an_echo]

okay as an italian aficionado of your culinary adventures THIS CARBONARA LOOKS SO FJFBCJDBSKING DELICIOUS. i am so happy you made it the proper way (aka without cream)

[@jessicahinojosa4367]

I always know chili crunch as “Chile de acetie” in Spanish growing up I would treat it as seasoning for shrimp there was a summer where that’s all I ate with a side of white rice mixed with butter salt pepper and cream cheese

[@shaunalstrom6114]

Inga makes a good day great!

[@savannahralston8877]

Hot take with the chili oil in the salad, I love Kimchi in my salads, along with vegan sausage and some creamy dressing. The spicy crunchy kimchi mixed with the saucy(I dowse my salads) spinach is just something that makes me happy.

[@moranicaceres]

Inga please do a video like this one but using gochujang and gochugaru.

[@mg-dk2qz]

Oh! This video is right up my alley. I always have a jar on hand! Is it bad if Inga’s Secret Sauce (tm) looks like the one I make for noodles? Didn’t know I was liable for copyright infringement 😅

i got some chilli crunch due to this video... delicioussss

[@legomars1]

You threw the most appropriate amount of shade to the ridiculous tradermarker. 👍

[@irina_vhmc]

I used to have leftover chilli oil packets from instant noodles because I didn't want my noodles so spicy, and didn't know anything to do with them. But after this video, not anymore. Sunny side up egg fried with chilli oil is addictive as hell.

I really had no clue who he was until the drama. Ive seen his chili oil in store but ive never seen anyone buy it lol Lao Gan Ma all the way!! && if you’re from the bay, you need to get your hands on Hella Saap!! Does not disappoint. 🔥🔥🔥

[@111nitya]

We all know Inga is pretty much a GENIUS! So here's the ideas I have executed. get the Buldak Korean Spicy Hot Chicken Flavor Sauce from an asian store or the internet and it to make hot honey at 1 part buldak sauce to : 3 parts honey! OH MY GOD! MAKE the Kathy Chen's Chili oil noodle compond butter and use chilli crunch instead of whatever spices she asks for (such a shortcut) but the OG is wonderful too honestly. use Miso, browned butter and honey to make a compound butter! Add toasted walnuts to make lao gan maa more crunchy

[@juliaokami7123]

I love Alio & Olio, and Spice - so great video for me, plus 'aliabolical' = my new word! I'm stealing it. Thank you!😘

[@Gretnamaba]

I've never seen that carbonara technique before. I usually add eggs to the pan. This way seems so much easier becaure they's moree time to toss the pasta

[@jeffharper6259]

Leave it to Inga; I can't remember the last time someone used the word 'diabolical' in a sentence. Hello from Ontario, Canada.

[@TMM6900]

[@juliesong3149]

As someone who has a lot of chili crunch at home, I rarely use them outside of just putting them into noodle soups. Now I want to explore more, thanks to you ❤

[@Hongyidavid]

Love the creativity! But I’m sure Italians are screaming now somewhere lol😂

[@weakanklesfornamjoon]

Yeah I’m this way with my 2 favorite flavors: chili crunch and doenjang. On and in everything. Oh and Buldak sauce, but I’m starting to tire of it. Not telling how many bottles I’ve consumed. 😂

[@lynndifer4163]

Annie's Mac and cheese is the best box mac. I usually add greek yogurt or goat cheese to the sauce and it makes it soooo thick and creamy. I'll add chili crunch next time Also as an American Italian we all dump dried chili flakes on pasta, there's really no difference here, I think it's good

[@shahinmarshall9778]

I just seasoned tilapia with laogannma wow it was. You should try it with fish❤❤❤

[@ms.bjsanders5816]

I know this question might sound crazy but I'm curious how long your homemade hot honey would last. Think gifting it not like home consumption. My son and my ex husband are far more in the Spice Lords realm than myself though my youngest still lives at home and even though their stomach can't always deal they like spicy food too. I make homemade vanilla but that honey looks like a fun gift. I could get some gift able containers to make pretty. I got my son and ex Paolo from Tokyo's hot sauce last year for Christmas. It's made with I think Carolina Reaper Chili's but has an umami note to it. They both love but they do say it's spicy 😅 I'm not good with spice but I wanted that avo toast. Also just the compound butter like brilliant
