Back in , shortly after taking ownership of the year-old Nom Wah Tea Parlor, Wilson Tang wanted to sell jars of branded chile oil. Nearly 10 years later, Tang came back around to the idea.
Once operations are back up and running, Tang hopes to sell the product again, in Nom Wah restaurants and online. Today, he finds himself in the company of other restaurants and small businesses selling a signature bright vermilion, sediment-thick chile oil. They were intended to leave visitors with a lingering aftertaste and remind them to come back soon.
Now, as the timeline for reopening remains blurry, retail items from restaurants have become a hot ticket, and shelf-stable chile oils have been anointed a pandemic pantry must-have for those longing to give their home-cooked creations a whiff of spicy-restaurant nostalgia. But what is chile oil? And why is everyone seemingly crazy for spicy, chunky, oily hot sauce in the first place?
A condiment from a small Sichuan-Taiwanese maker called Su Spicy Chili Crisp was the first product available through her ecommerce business, and its best-seller. Those particles are the chile flakes and often garlic, shallots and any number of other ingredients and spices that are sizzled in the oil to infuse it, becoming crispy in the process. This textural component is what many find irresistible about Sichuan Chili Crisp, Spicy Chili Crisp, and similar high-particle oils.
For generations, when Americans wanted to kick up their entrees with a little extra heat, they dabbled thin, red droplets of a pepper sauce. There are thousands of sauces like this: cayenne- or habanero-based; red, green, or yellow; with the addition of fruit for balance or adorned with grim reapers on their labels. The taste for vinegar-based chile sauce is, of course, not just limited to Americans. Sriracha , a smoother, thicker, sweeter chile sauce created by a Vietnamese American in California, is also vinegar-based, with no oil to speak of.
A chile condiment that is not only oily but earthy, toasty, and cooked rather than highly acidic and fresh-tasting is still something of a novelty, found in Asian groceries or from the beloved restaurants that sell theirs. But as Tang saw it, with Chinese food more mainstream than ever, the time was right to sell Nom Wah chile oil.
And, as he and other restaurateurs profess, a great deal of customers request a chile condiment with their food. Sriracha, Cholula, and other vinegary sauces are not the right complement for everything. For more than a century, milder cuisines from China dominated the Chinese food enjoyed in the United States.
That began to change after the U. Before then, the first waves of immigrants from China, who created the canon of Chinese-American staples like chop suey and egg foo young, were Toisanese, from Guangdong Province, whose traditional cuisine employs little to no spice. But before these cuisines reached the states, a taste for spice spread within China. Diana Kuan, author of Red Hot Kitchen , a cookbook focused on the many varieties of Asian hot sauces, lived in China from to and witnessed the rising popularity of Sichuan cuisine in the country, especially in Beijing, where she was based.
