Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp is the new craze in condiments. ... It's one of China's, and possibly the world's, tastiest chili oils. Spicy Chili Crisp is the classic, full of crispy onions, chilies and Sichuan pepper bits. It's used mostly as a condiment or ingredient in Sichuan cold sauces. My husband came home last night after a 12 hour flight from NY to LA (long story!), so I made him this Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp for breakfast. I thought it might wake him up! It turns out it is really delicious and not too spicy.

Prep: 5 mins

Yields: 1 Serving

Ingredients

Hash Browns

1 cup frozen shredded potatoes

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

thinly sliced green onions, to garnish

Egg

1 egg

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Hash Browns

1Heat up a pan to medium/hot, pour the oil into it, then dump in your hash browns no more than ½″ thick. The hash browns will sort of form into a loose patty on their own, and you’ll want to flip the whole thing over about halfway through to make sure both sides are properly browned.

Egg

1In a small, preferably nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook to desired doneness.

2Place the hash browns on a plate. Top with the fried egg, garnish with green onions and top with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp.
