Meet Canada's most talked about local chili crisp! A top gift guide pick for the holidays! Hakka-ish Chili Crisp is Zing Pantry Shortcuts' flagship third culture pantry shortcut and all-round bestseller! It's not just another Chili Crisp: it is a one-of-a-kind union of Sichuanese and Indo-Chinese cooking (the latter was introduced to the world by the Hakka diaspora living in Kolkata, India.) The all-natural chili crisp has a balanced heat and enveloping umami, with a slight tingle from Sichuan peppercorns! The addition of warm, earthy spices like cumin and cardamom will guarantee that you'll be intoxicated by the aromas and flavours of this spice market in a jar! Spice/heat tolerance is subjective but Hakka-ish is classified as a medium heat similar to Sriracha. Try it with: stir fries, noodles, as a hot sauce, on your charcuterie board, pizza, eggs, and even on vanilla ice cream!
