UMAMI BASE

Building on a decade of research in the Momofuku Culinary Lab, Chili Crunch is packed with the same umami-rich ingredients we use in our restaurants. It’s inspired by Chinese chili crisp sauces like Lao Gan Ma and crunchy Mexican salsas like salsa macha and salsa seca.

Pepper Power

From that base, we layer in three different chilis for a complex smoky-sweet punch. The Pulla brings a bright fruitiness. The Chili de Arbol adds a nutty smokiness. And the Japones closes with a lingering spiciness.

CRUNCH FACTOR

Finally, we add in crispy dried garlic and shallots. They give Chili Crunch an addictive texture that ensures no two bites are the same.
