What is chili crisp?
Your new favorite condiment!
Chili crisp sauces are traditionally made with chili peppers, aromatics, and spices infused in oil for a perfectly crunchy, crispy, tingly, flavorful kick. Chili crisp has roots in Sichuan cuisine, but is universally delicious on any dish.
We developed our olive oil-based recipe over years of feedback from friends, family, and neighbors. When we made the first batch, we didn’t think it would grow up to have its own website, but here we are! Thank you for being part of the Big Spoon fam.

from 144 reviewsComfortable and cute. I bought two hats. My daughter and I live on the other side of the country. We talk up Big Spoon Sauce all the time. I give it to friends. We are hoping for extra style points for repping a small company from Occidental, California.
I really enjoy this over steamed vegetables and also potstickers.
There's so much flavor in a single bite. Use this chili crisp on everything and anything you can think of. Every sauce is delicious, but my go-to is the original, although that seasonal main squeeze is a must-have on the shelf. Grab it while you can!
Stylish, comfortable, an opportunity to rep an amazing and local small business? Yes to all. Last Saturday I went to brunch wearing this hat. Before the food even came out, my wife stole it from me and I carried on hatless and could not get it back the rest of the day. I clearly need another one. Picture for evidence. The hat is too nice, get one.
Dragon's Booty will lift the roof of my mouth. So I mix it with Magic Beans, heating up the rich spicy crunchy sweet beans. In spring I mix it with Main Squeeze. In summer, Green Gems. A subscription is a must, to get all the flavors. I would eat cardboard if it had Big Spoon's chili crisp on it. The newsletter in the subscription box is a beautiful bonus. The recipes are fun and different. Everyone needs the miso-caramel ice cream sauce, mixed with the Sweet Cheeks seasonal.
Absolutely love this chili crisp! All the different flavors in the club package are delicious. My favorite is the Main Squeeze and then Dragon's Booty, but they are all SO GOOD. I eat it on everything: eggs, avocado toast, Indian food, pasta, pizza - and more! It is life changing. For me, the Little Dipper club box perfectly lasts three months - and then I get the next one!
I especially love this blend on a combination of steamed cauliflower and carrots, as well as on noodles, rice, and pasta. Foods that are simple and uncomplicated flavors are great foils to show off the unique taste of this lemon zest-y chili crisp. A little bit goes a long way to wake up any bland dish and elevate it to a new level!
We are completely addicted to this chili crisp! Love it!
Sitting on our back deck during happy hour we ate almost the whole thing directly from the jar.
I got three different flavors and i love them all. They are all just the perfect topping for ramen or even rice dishes. You can tell they take their time and put love into each bottle. So glad i could support small business. I wish them much success ! I wish was in stores across America ! It’s so worth it !
I love my magic beans! They really add flavor to so many things...or right out of the jar! Thanks Big Spoon!
We love this stuff. We put it in everything. I’m super happy we were able to find a sauce like this that does not have any seed oils in it.
I had never had chili crisp prior to buying from Big Spoon Sauce and now I worry that I've started at such a high level that I'll never find something else that compares! The Main Squeeze flavor was especially delicious, juicy, and vibrant. I loved it on some rice along with my Hainanese chicken! It was also really good on some crispy broccoli and zucchini!
This is my new favorite crisp from Big Spoon. Light and fresh with all the flavor you need for the entire day.
Thanks for my lovely selection. Am sharing with those I love.. and we love you~ keep it rolling~

From the Press Democrat: Occidental couple’s recipe for chili crisp sauce has a devoted fan base
"For those unfamiliar with chili crisp, a few whiffs of Bender frying shallots while Chan pours a complex blend of spices into a large bowl, readying it for a rendezvous with the sizzling-hot shallot oil, will entice you to make Big Spoon Sauce Co.’s acquaintance." -- Jennifer Graue, January 2023
