Using my right hand’s index and thumb to grab a hold of two adjacent corners, and then using my middle finger to lift from the bottom. Take a bite out of an opposite corner, and then feel the chilli oil drip down my finger.
Take another bite that shares about 10% of the previous bite, get a little bit of avocado on my nose, and feel the chilli oil drip down the back of my hand and towards my wrist.
It’s crispy chilli oil! It’s toasted spring onions, and ginger, and once they turn golden brown, I pour the hot oil over the aromatics. Then I added a few things like sesame seeds, garlic chips, and fried shallots. Umami explosion, it’s so good but so bad. I posted about it maybe one or two posts ago, the recipe is there if you’d like to give it a go. 😁
Well you’re not eating it in scoops (at least not in this post) and it satisfies a need that would otherwise be satisfied by something less healthy. So it’s good.
edit: OK, I just read your post where you say you really are eating it out of the jar.
Lol! Nah, I don’t actually eat it straight from the jar. Imagine the Calories and having to explain to the doctor why I suddenly have high blood pressure and kidney stones. I just drizzle it over foods, and only about a tap or so.
Definitely something to have in moderation. It lasts in the fridge for 2-3 months, so that’s all I’m allowed.

Making a mess, basically!
It’s worth it I guess. (Would you like to explain what that roasted chili stuff is exactly?)
I’d probably plop another slice of toast on top and use my patented one-handed plier grip: thumb and little finger on the bottom, the rest on top.

Thanks, that does sound good.
