Mama Toi's Chili Crisp
There is a magical sensory experience in the crunch of fried shallots and garlic combining with the heat of chilies and gentle nuttiness of peanuts.
Inspired by my upbringing in Thailand, where cooks balance textures and flavors by instinct, I created this chili crisp to bring that same balance and fun into your kitchen and mouth. It is a joyful, harmonious intersection of heat, savory shallots, crunchy garlic and peanuts, and a touch of sweetness.
Made in small batches with premium, carefully selected ingredients.
The Art & Science of the Crisp
Creating the perfect chili crisp is a balancing act. We combine culinary traditions with kitchen science to construct a condiment that elevates everything it touches.
Sensory Balance
We believe in balancing the six tastes. Our chili crisp isn't just about heat; it's a careful blend of spicy, salty, savory, and sweetness, backed by the clean taste of grapeseed oil and a complex aromatic depth.
Crispy Kitchen Science
Garlic and shallots contain different water contents and sugars. We fry them separately at precise, low temperatures to bring out their sweetness and maximum crispiness without burning or turning bitter. Lastly, we add slow fried peanuts to add a complimentary nuttiness and bite to the crisp.
Aromatic Depth
We blend five types of chilis to show off and balance their fruitiness with their sharp capsicum bite. The chilis are carefully deseeded and bloomed in hot oil alongside Sichuan peppercorns and warm dried spices. This combination produces a richly flavorful oil with aromatic depth and a pleasant numbing tingle.
