The most popular variety of chili in Sichuan, the Erjingtiao chili is known for its mild spice but intense fragrance, and is the key ingredient used in our Sichuan Chili Crisp. Its uses are varied and inventive: dry-fried in oil for a scorched-chili flavor; ground up and combined with aromatics to create the canvas for the most fragrant chili oils; and mixed with various other spices to make dozens of Sichuan flavor profiles.

Leo D. ★★★★★

These are the first chilis I've bought that actually smell like a Sichuan kitchen, not just generic heat. The fragrance is so intense that a handful in my oil gave everything that restaurant depth. Mild spice means I can use a generous amount without scorching the dish.

Samuel S. ★★★★★

I was a bit worried they'd be too mild, but the aroma when I opened the bag is absolutely intoxicating — that intense fragrance really does fill the kitchen. I've been using them in my own chili oil and the depth of flavor is exactly what my stir-fries were missing.

Sebastian ★★★★★

These are the real deal. The fragrance when you open the bag is incredible, and the mild heat lets the scent really come through in a simple oil dip. Exactly what I needed for making a more authentic chili crisp at home.
