I got a jar once and never used it because it looked and smelled so bad. I barely tried it on a spoon maybe I should’ve just eaten it 🤷♂️

I did the same thing. I thought I got a bad batch of the the chili crisp. I got the chili sauce instead of the chili crisp. I think the sauce tastes really good but there is a noticeable difference.

From Google:
**Key Differences**
**Texture**: Spicy Chili Crisp is suspended in chili oil with a prominent, crispy crunch. Hot Chili Sauce is a thicker, smoother, more cohesive savory paste. [[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/spicy/comments/1cwmdrb/lgm_hot_chili_sauce_is_better_than_any_chili/), [2](http://www.google.com/)]
**Ingredients**: Spicy Chili Crisp relies heavily on dried chili flakes, fried onion/garlic, and crunchy roasted soybeans. Hot Chili Sauce versions lean deeply into fermented black beans, sometimes incorporating bits of peanut, kohlrabi, or tofu.

I swear i’ve gotten moldy lao gan ma before, i can just taste it. I didn’t SEE mold, but it was definitely there somewhere.
A random frito and a tofu chunk? Looks Chinese acceptable to me
wait. there’s different versions of this? 😞
They have different varieties. Some have pork bits and such
Yeah I bought the wrong one too. I just wanted Chili Oil.
Yes
