What is Lao Gan Ma?

Lao Gan Ma (老干妈), also known as “old godmother,” is a renowned Chinese brand of chili sauce. This was founded by Tao Huabi in Guizhou, China, back in 1997. The brand offers a diverse selection of chili sauce products, with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp being the most popular product outside Chinese market.

Lao Gan Ma’s Spicy Chili Crisp is crafted from a blend of chili, fermented soybeans, and Sichuan pepper. It boasts an exceptional flavor and an irresistibly crisp texture.

Over the past few months, this Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp Oil has become a staple in my pantry. Its aromatic, rich chili flavor combined with the delightful crunch of crisp bits elevates every meal to new heights, transforming all my dishes.

Just like Vietnamese Lemongrass Chili Oil, I love adding Lao Gan Ma Chili Oil to almost anything—whether it’s noodles, fried rice, or even egg toast.

Where could I buy Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp?

In Germany, Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp is easily found in major Asian markets, especially those specializing in Chinese or Southeast Asian products. Since Lao Gan Ma has various chili sauce products, make sure to choose the right one by looking for “crispy chili in oil” on the label.

Ingredients

You only need only 4 ingredients for this recipe:

  • Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp Oil: it’s a fantastic choice for this recipe, but you can also use any store-bought or homemade chili oil.
  • Your favorite kind of noodles: Feel free to choose from rice noodles, egg noodles, pasta, or even rice paper noodles for a quick, gluten-free option. Personally, I adore the silky, springy, and chewy texture of hand-pulled noodles.
  • All-purpose Soy Sauce
  • Chinese Black Vinegar
  • Chili oil Fried Egg and Cucumber (optional): These ingredients bring a touch of protein and fiber to the dish, making it into a wholesome and well-balanced meal.

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the Chili Oil Fried Egg and julienne cucumber (if available).
The fried eggs are bathed in a rich, aromatic chili oil, creating a striking contrast of colors.
  • In a bowl, combine Lao Gan Ma Chili Oil, soy sauce, and Chinese black vinegar in a 2:1:1 ratio (you can adjust the proportions to suit your taste).

  • Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and immediately toss them in the sauce, ensuring that all the noodles are coated evenly. Hot noodles absorb the sauce more effectively.
