Author Notes

This is my version of chili crisp which can be made and used in so many ways. I like the combination of red chili flakes with the smokiness of Gochuchang flakes and the sweetness of the orange bitters. Yes, that's right, orange bitters. Not a traditional application for this ingredient, but it brings a subtle orange flavor that is unique.

Chili crisp is a staple in my refrigerator and a great condiment that can be used in almost any dish. Try it on fried eggs, noodles or avocado toast. —The Sage Olive
