Smoky, hand-roasted Lao chili flakes for sprinkling on everything.
Another staple from our mom's Lao kitchen. We hand-roast the chilis in small batches for a deeper, smokier heat than anything out of a factory shaker. It was always on the table growing up, and it still earns a spot right next to our chili oil.
How to use it: dust it over pad Thai and noodles, fried rice, grilled meats, eggs, soups, even popcorn, anywhere you want dry, smoky heat without the oil.
Why it is different: small-batch and hand-roasted from a Lao family recipe, not mass-produced. Bold, smoky, and built to season a whole dish.
Pairs perfectly with our Laotian Hot Chili Oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
How hot is Tiger Mom Lao chili oil?
It's a bold, garlicky medium-hot — flavor first, then a clean building heat. Think more aromatic and savory than a one-note burn. Easy to dial up or down by how much you spoon on.
What makes Lao chili oil different from chili crisp or Sichuan chili oil?
Sichuan styles lean on mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn. Our Lao family recipe is garlic-forward and deeply savory — built for rice, noodles, eggs, and grilled meats, the way it's eaten at a Lao family table.
What do I put it on?
Rice, fried or soft eggs, instant and fresh noodles, dumplings, grilled meats and veggies, pizza, avocado toast, soups, and stir-fries. If you eat it, it's probably better with a spoon of this on top.
What's in it? Any allergens?
A short list of real ingredients — chilis, garlic, oil, and our family seasoning, in small batches. See the full ingredient list on the label. Contact us about specific allergens before ordering if you have a concern.
Do I need to refrigerate it? How long does it last?
Keep it in a cool, dark spot and use a clean dry spoon. Refrigerate after opening to keep it freshest. Best within a few months of opening.
