Hi Reader-

A few months back, Ruby Crunch Chili Crisp (a local Michigan company) reached out to me on Instagram and sent over two jars to try.

I went through both faster than I probably want to admit, and that says something because I've tried other chili crisp brands and never finished the jar.

Now that I'm on my second set of jars, I wanted to share with you. The flavor and crunch are exactly what I want without tipping into "my mouth is on fire" territory. I reach for the "regular" heat most often, but the "spicy" is still very manageable if you like a little more kick.

Check the store locator to see if it's sold near you or I got us a discount code so you can try it! Use code PPLATES20 for 20% off and you get free shipping when you order two or more jars.

Recipe Inspiration to Drizzle Chili Crisp Over ✨

• ​Slow Cooker Birria Ramen — the birria broth already has depth, and a spoonful of chili crisp on top gives it even more.
• ​Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles — that sweet and savory sauce plus a crunchy, spicy topper is exactly what this needs.
• ​Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli - only 7 ingredients makes this super simple & the chili crisp adds so much flavor.
• ​Beef and Ramen Noodles (sheet pan) — one pan, fewer dishes, and a drizzle of chili crisp right before serving.
• ​Slow Cooker Chicken Ramen — the lighter broth is a great base for the chili crisp to actually stand out.
• ​Easy Chicken Fried Rice — because fried rice without something crunchy and spicy on top is a missed opportunity.
• ​Easy Sheet Pan Eggs — a spoonful on your slice turns basic baked eggs into something you actually look forward to. Or, keep it as simple as putting a bit of the chili crisp oil in the pan to fry an egg in.
• ​Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza — drizzle it right over the top before serving, it's a genuinely good combo.
• ​Roasted Green Beans - add a little something special to your roasted veggies.

Basically, if it's on your plate this week, chili crisp probably belongs on it.

That coupon code is only good this month so if you order some, let me know what you end up drizzling it on.
