With egg and crispy chilli oil/chilli crisp. 😁 Mangled the egg - yolk fell out half way through.

Smashed avocado on square piece of toast. Sliced hard-boiled egg on top, drizzled with crispy chilli oil.

Using my right hand's index and thumb to grab a hold of two adjacent corners, and then using my middle finger to lift from the bottom. Take a bite out of an opposite corner, and then feel the chilli oil drip down my finger.

Take another bite that shares about 10% of the previous bite, get a little bit of avocado on my nose, and feel the chilli oil drip down the back of my hand and towards my wrist.

Making a mess, basically!

    It's worth it I guess. (Would you like to explain what that roasted chili stuff is exactly?)

    I'd probably plop another slice of toast on top and use my patented one-handed plier grip: thumb and little finger on the bottom, the rest on top.

    It's crispy chilli oil! It's toasted spring onions, and ginger, and once they turn golden brown, I pour the hot oil over the aromatics. Then I added a few things like sesame seeds, garlic chips, and fried shallots. Umami explosion, it's so good but so bad. I posted about it maybe one or two posts ago, the recipe is there if you'd like to give it a go. 😁

    Thanks, that does sound good.

    it’s so good but so bad

    Well you're not eating it in scoops (at least not in this post) and it satisfies a need that would otherwise be satisfied by something less healthy. So it's good.

    edit: OK, I just read your post where you say you really are eating it out of the jar.

    Lol! Nah, I don't actually eat it straight from the jar. Imagine the Calories and having to explain to the doctor why I suddenly have high blood pressure and kidney stones. I just drizzle it over foods, and only about a tap or so.

    Definitely something to have in moderation. It lasts in the fridge for 2-3 months, so that's all I'm allowed.
