The Dish: Traditional Chinese topping on fire in U.S.

Chili crisp has taken the U.S. by storm. Jing Gao created Fly By Jing's version with ingredients exclusively from her hometown of Chengdu, China. Gao shows Nancy Chen how to make her famous topping in her LA kitchen, and the two sample it on top of dumplings, tofu, ice cream and even a cocktail. Nancy also visits Paulie Gee's in Brooklyn to sample his popular pizza topped with chili crisp.

I’m a grandma, & my adult daughter suggested I buy this. It took me 4 weeks to finish the first jar. The next jar took 2 weeks to finish. I just polished off my third jar in 6 days.

I truly think food and music are the best vehicle for teaching about history and culture vs your typical rote lessons.

I live in the US, Boston area and unfortunately, the narrative of our government is to ensure that we see anything Chinese as enemies or below us. My 7th grader came home today all upset because the world geography teacher was telling everyone how bad China is and how the people are so oppressed over there. This semester has been about Asia and China has been the subject for the past week. The thing is a quarter of the classroom is of Chinese descent and many of these kids have visited or lived in China and most still have family overseas. Most of them did not feel what was being thought was beneficial nor did they feel what was being thought was helpful in any way to help the class have a deeper understanding of their culture. They were afraid to speak up for fear of being alienated or harassed. I don't know how we are to bridge the gap when we have schools teaching how inferior other countries are to ours.

I’ve never thought of Chinese food as cheap or low quality. Now I’m picky about where due to preparation vs ingredients. The Fly by Jing chili crisp is a little different than the others. I think it’s a high quality product but wish it was a little more affordable. It’s a treat vs an every day condiment. For us, on a quality burger with a runny fried egg on top with a healthy drizzle of Fly by Jing. Next level.

[@picard1233]

💯 yes!!

Chinese food got that stigma because it happens so often in China. We are so privileged to have a stricter and fairer FDA to ensure the quality of our food. Growing up in Vietnam, I have seen the people there suffer badly because of low quality sometimes even poisonous products made in China imported to our country. People in China also suffer the same health issues because of the low quality food.

[@ismaeltolentino4500]

i do not know where they got the idea that chinese food is cheap. i mean, just like "american" food, you can go to mc donalds and order from the dollar menu or go to a gourmet restaurant and eat a good meal. it is the same for chinese cuisine. there are restaurants that sell "fast food" with a chinese twist and there are traditional chinese food restaurants. i think she is using the stigma as a marketing tool. she is not offering her product to preserve her culture, she is doing it to make money.

[@nickfan6666]

Lao Gan Ma, could be literally translated as "Old Godmother" in English. The "Godmother" here, has no religious meaning for Chinse people. Similar to Godmother in western culture, Gan Ma is normally a very close female friend of your Mom or Dad, whom your parents accept and would love to request to be your "Second Mother", even she has no any ties of blood with you. And you will be her goddaughter("Gan Nv Er") or godson("Gan Er Zi"). During Chinese New Year, if you have a Gan Ma, you would be lucky cause she may give you red envelop filled with money, just like your other relatives do.

Unfortunately on the journey home, they were intercepted by Mongols and confiscated by one of their team members, a Mr. Kublai Khan explaining that it will be much more needed for his 800 wives and 1,600 children, and for compensation a hand written check of a very large amount of promised gold pieces. Also unfortunately, the ranking member of the Italian government was so offended by the absurdity of the written check by paper system in China that he just burned the the piece of paper check in front of Polo and he later died a poor man with book with the descriptive events of his travels from China included with the descriptions of Chili crisp but is was panned as simple lies from a foreign land. ....... point being, a lot of things made it to Europe sooner or later whether from the wrong time, poor presentation by representation, or just simple perceived conjecture.

Fighting against perceptions that Chinese food is low quality and cheap is something that Philly restaurateur Han Chiang has been railing against for years and the US food scene is better for it. It’s great to see more traditional Chinese ingredients become more available elsewhere, chili crisp rules.

[@9ZERO6]

Most "Chinese" food in the USA is actually low quality garbage. Unless you are in a affluent area or a large city, it is bland. No Chinese person would eat it if served to them.

Just try chilly crisp on coffee chocolate ice cream! I can’t say it’s better but it completely change the flavor of my ice cream! really good indeed. Much better then I can imagine.

So many brands of chili crisp out there and some are extreme level spicy. This one I have to give it a try.

I LOVE LAOGANMA!! Gotta get the chili crisp

[@soldiersvejk2053]

Lao Ganma (Old Godmother) sauce's history is actually shorter than you might think. It was first developed in the 1980s based on more traditional sauces.

[@porcorosso4330]

The history of chili in Asia is also actually surprising short. But there was a boom and now it's everywhere.

[@edwardjusanit8086]

As Asian, I NEVER put chili on my ice cream 😂

[@ricotheman8139]
