Chili Crisp Calamari

the spicy confessions of an addict

My one major food takeaway from covid is Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp. Everyone else can rhapsodize about the sourdough bread phenomena or some other crazy food fad. I eat everything drenched with chili crisp.

My chili crisp addiction has gotten so bad I started buying it by the case to avoid running out. I laugh at that last statement because I believe I read somewhere that Lao Gan Ma produces 1.4 million jars a day — I only eat 1. The chances of a chili crisp drought are low.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
