Spice Tips
This recipe builds heat from chili crisp and red pepper flakes for a pleasant burn. For milder palates, reduce the chili crisp to 1 tablespoon and omit the red pepper flakes. For serious heat lovers, add another 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or drizzle with more chili crisp before serving. Fresh cilantro or sliced scallions add a bright, cooling contrast.
Serve over steamed white or brown rice. For extra heat, add more chili crisp or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Chili crisp (like Lao Gan Ma) is available in most supermarkets in the international or condiment aisle.
