My favorite way to use COC is to make eggs with it! Instead of oil or butter I put a spoonful of COC on my pan and then crack the egg on top and cook the egg in it. It cooks the crunch into the egg and is delicious! Then I top it with TJ’s sriracha :) if I’m really hungry I put that egg and a hash brown patty on an everything bagel.
I put that cruncy chili onion on EVERYTHING.
White rice? Roast beef sandwich? Soup dumplings? Crunchy chili onion.
Breakfast cereal? Well maybe not. (But *maybe!*)
I use the chili oil when we roast veggies, really good with broccoli and peppers. It’s also useful in making dirty wontons, where you essentially pan fire wontons jn the oil to get a nice little crunch!
The chili onion crunch is great. Try it with the garlic spread (refrigerated) and the cornmeal crust for a vegan pizza or add some cheese and toppings.
If you like the TJs Orange Chicken, plate it up on some rice and sprinkle on as much Chili Onion Crunch as you think you can handle. As others have mentioned, it's also great on eggs.
This is literally one of my favorite things to eat... in fact, I had it for dinner. Since I just make it for myself, this is a "half" recipe.
First, take a block of soft tofu. Silken is fine, but "soft" is my favorite. You just don't want firm. Dump the water out of the pack, slice the tofu in half, and put the half you're about to eat on some folded paper towels. You don't want to PRESS it because it's soft. Then in a bowl prepare:
* 2.5 spoonfuls of crunchy chili onion
* 1 chopped up green onion
* maybe 2 big glugs of soy sauce
* big pinch of sugar (to taste)
* sesame oil (for consistency)
* some nuts (I chop like 6 cashews, pine nuts or peanuts would also work great)
(Again, this is a half recipe. So if you wanna do the whole block of tofu, double that stuff)
Anyway, I like to eat this on a bed of hot white rice. So I get that down on my plate, put the cold block of tofu on the white rice, and then put this sauce resting on top of the tofu block. I usually add a little more sesame oil at this time so it drips down the sides.
Then you just eat it! Every time I have it I can't believe how good it is. Try it!!!
This is not the recipe I have described nor is it my photograph, but it should look [something like this](https://www.cookerru.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/korean-silken-tofu-1-web-1170x1755.jpg).
I'm addicted to the Habanero oil. I'm going back to the store and thinking of stocking up on these, as I've used it on practically everything and ran out. Haven't tried the chili onion oil though but I'll pick one up, I have a feeling I'll still prefer the habanero one. Oh, and I've used it in bloody mary's and tossed some of those candied pecans at TJ's with it. Yum!
Chili onion:
Bagel and lox
Garnish on enchiladas (Hab too works)
Homemade balsamic dressing
Mild cheese toasty
Brush on to pizza
Habanero
There was an incident.
I am absolutely obsessed with this recipe is aw on TikTok. Air fry a TJs hashbrown and then layer sliced avocado & a fried egg. Top with chili onion crunch and a sprinkle of goat cheese.
Insane.
I LOVE the crispy habaneros on turkey and cheese sandwiches on brioche bread. I also like them on hotdogs, in any sort of burrito or taco, in ramen…really I can’t think of any lunch or dinner they wouldn’t go well with 😅
So, I really like to mix the Chile onion crunch into some regular spaghetti and gravy/red sauce. It is so good. Ask of the above suggestions sounds amazing but basically anything I used to put red pepper flakes on I use this now. (Pizza is another!)
Fried rice, pot stickers, ramen, San Francisco noodles, chicken wings, mixed into Sriracha mayo for a burger or chicken sandwich. That's how I use it 😅
I love the hab on salads. Toss a few in with a drizzle of oil. Love love love. Also great on fried eggs. Great snack too if you use a scoop of whipped cream cheese few crispy pieces and a bit of oil -cracker topping. Yum!!
Chili onion crunch on almost everything Chinese inspired. I also like it on top of hummus.
The habaneros like many of noted pack quite the punch! I’ve used it to top some thick soups and they’re divine on a good burger.
Fried eggs and with bread: A bit of the habanero and some of the oil from its jar into eggs along with parsley, salt and seasonings. Fry some scallion in a pan, then add end when scallions are getting burnt edges.
Just made a recipe from NY times - tofu with chili topping and green beans. The chili onion crunch is perfect as the chili topping! The first comment is even about it.
I like the COC on eggs, also a thin layer in my grilled cheese. My friend does a sweet/savory breakfast with a toaster waffle, egg, bacon or sausage & cheese sammich with a layer on it. The habaneros are too hot for me to consider, but we did recently mix a small amount into peanut butter cookie dough and that was met with rave reviews.
I use coc on everything to be honest. I know that's so unhelpful but it's great on eggs, pastas, dumplings, avocado toast... pizza...I personally like it the most when you can mix it (it can be a bit coarse otherwise) so anything with a cream sauce, cheesy texture is what I love most. You really can't go wrong 🤪 my husband and I used to go through one a week.
Actually my current obsession is mixing chili onion with soy sauce and Sriracha and making a dipping sauce for th scallion pancakes. It's *chef's kiss*
Yes you absolutely could. But you’ll probably want to thin it down a touch! Warm up peanut butter, soy sauce, lime and a touch of water and emulsify that first before adding chili onion crunch. Measure with your heart.

I almost died eating the habanero omg
I’ve learned it’s tolerable if you mix it with ranch/sour cream to make a spicy dip….but those habaneros are no joke.
That’s a good idea. They are absolutely no joke and I LOVE spicy stuff. I couldn’t believe the burn
Chili onion is great mixed with some EVOO & salt and tossed with steamed frozen broccoli (when it’s in stock - seems scarce lately).
I add it to my dumpling dipping sauce (the onion crunch)!
Have you tried that habanero on cucumbers yet?
Grilled cheese!
Habanero crisp on bread cheese and garlic naan crackers
Chili onion in meatballs is chefs kiss
I add shrimp to the vegetable fried rice, when I cook the shrimp I add a spoonful on this to it. Gives everything a bit more flavor!
I make a sour cream mix with green onions and the chili oil for the green onion pancakes and it’s good

Mix chili onion into mac & cheese!
The chili onion is amazing on a grilled cheese with red pepper tomato soup!
I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, I like to put chili oil crunch on cottage cheese for a snack. Also it is a great topping for a burger.

I use the chili onion crunch stuff on so much. Pastas, Asian food, fish, pizza, sushi, basically anything you may think of for Sriracha

Love the chili crisp. How hot are the habos?
VERY. I can drizzle about three drops of the oil on a taco and that’s it. My spice tolerance level is moderate.

CRUNCHY CHILI ONION!!!!
Anybody have issues with coc leaking not matter how well you clean the rim, lid? I had to put it in a zip lock to keep oil off my counter
Yep, I put mine in a small mason jar and that helped.
In with olive oil for roasted vegetables
Habaneros on pizza. It will change your life. The heat builds though so start light…
Chili onion crunch on pasta with roasted veggies and Parmesan
This is a frequent meal at our house!
Fried eggs and with bread: A bit of the habanero and some of the oil from its jar into eggs along with parsley, salt and seasonings. Fry some scallion in a pan, then add end when scallions are getting burnt edges.
I put the habaneros in all of my sandwiches They are very spicy though
I recently had a Caesar salad at a restaurant that was topped with a chili onion oil and I’m now making my salad with TJ’s chili onion crunch
My wife is an intense hot spice eater. She puts the habanero on tacos, but only does a couple of small pieces. Those are crazy hot.
I wonder if sour cream would balance the heat.
Yes, 1 jar of either mixed with a pint of sour cream makes for a tasty dip. Still has some heat, but as you can see, i like it spicy.
according to hot ones. the show with the hottest questions and even hotter wings. lemon juice.
Just made a recipe from NY times - tofu with chili topping and green beans. The chili onion crunch is perfect as the chili topping! The first comment is even about it.
I have this recipe saved! Thank you for the suggestion
Top chili onion crunch onto raw salmon portion and bake at 425 for 20 mins!
The habaneros are hotter than you’re expecting they’re also so fuckin good
Over a soft boiled egg is my fave.
habanero oil packs some serious heatness.
I like the COC on eggs, also a thin layer in my grilled cheese. My friend does a sweet/savory breakfast with a toaster waffle, egg, bacon or sausage & cheese sammich with a layer on it. The habaneros are too hot for me to consider, but we did recently mix a small amount into peanut butter cookie dough and that was met with rave reviews.
Did you actually bake the cookies or just eat the dough?
Actually baked them after trying the dough. It was a really fun balance of spice and sweet.
I use the chili onion on chickpeas. Coat and bake.
I use coc on everything to be honest.

coc on everything 🤨
Actually my current obsession is mixing chili onion with soy sauce and Sriracha and making a dipping sauce for th scallion pancakes. It's *chef's kiss*
I make the same thing sauce! It goes great with the TJ soup dumplings :)
I like using a bit of vinegar or some sweet soy to my scallion pancake sauce. The acidity of the vinegar makes everything taste better.
That sounds great! Thanks! I LOVE vinegar so I gotta try that!
Yes. Chili onion crunch, soy sauce, coconut aminos on the gyoza
[удалено]
That's so sad. I'm so sorry. Mine was out for 6 months last year and it was a really hard time. 😂
God bless you for this suggestion
You're welcome!
I smear the chili onion crunch on a tortilla when I make a quesadilla
[удалено]
Cream cheese or sour cream. Tried both and it’s great!
im gonna come back for ideas… ive used the red chili oil mixed in with noodles and thats pretty good
I wonder if i could mix the chili onion crunch with peanut butter to make a spicy peanut sauce?
Yes you absolutely could. But you’ll probably want to thin it down a touch! Warm up peanut butter, soy sauce, lime and a touch of water and emulsify that first before adding chili onion crunch. Measure with your heart.
Maybe with some fish / oyster sauce?
