ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Golden crunch. Bold garlic flavor. Sprinkle on everything.

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch starts with fresh garlic and sweet shallots cooked in light rice bran oil until perfectly golden and crisp. Then come toasted sesame seeds for nuttiness and depth, a touch of chili powder for gentle warmth, and gluten-free organic soy sauce powder for savory umami richness. A pinch of organic coconut sugar and Himalayan pink salt complete the seasoning.

The result is a deeply satisfying crunch that works as both a topper and a seasoning. Garlic-forward with nutty sesame undertones, a whisper of heat, and a clean umami finish. Mild enough for children and heat-shy eaters, flavorful enough for anyone who loves bold food.

Sustainably made with authentic Asian ingredients from local farms in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Supporting women and youths with every jar produced.

THREE WAYS TO USE

Topper. Seasoning. Snack.

A teaspoon of Chili Garlic Crunch transforms any dish instantly — restaurant-quality crunch and flavor in seconds.

🥄

As a Topper

Scatter over salads, grain bowls, ramen, pho, and soups just before serving. The garlic-sesame crunch elevates even the simplest bowl into something memorable. Add at the table, not the pot, to preserve the crispiness.

🍚

As a Seasoning

Stir into fried rice, toss into stir-fries, or sprinkle over scrambled eggs and roasted vegetables. The soy-garlic depth acts as a flavor base, reducing the need for additional sauces or seasoning.

🍞

As a Garnish

Use on burgers, sandwiches, avocado toast, and baked dishes. Adds a distinctly Asian-inspired crunch that transforms everyday comfort food. Also exceptional as a finishing touch on hummus, dips, and spreads.

🤏

As a Snack

Eat straight from the jar. The combination of crispy garlic, toasted sesame, and gentle chili warmth makes this dangerously snackable. Satisfying, crunchy, and surprisingly low in calories at just 30 per teaspoon.

Serving tip: At 1 Tsp per serving, the jar gives 11 uses. A heaped teaspoon on a salad or bowl adds rich garlic-sesame flavor and crunch. Store the jar in a cool, dry place.

VERSATILITY

Delicious on everything

Bold garlic-sesame crunch that makes every dish better in seconds.

🥗

Salads

Replaces croutons with garlic-sesame crunch. Works on mixed greens, grain salads, Asian slaws, and noodle salads. The soy-umami flavor complements most dressings beautifully.

🍜

Noodles & Ramen

Scatter generously over ramen, pho, udon, or instant noodles. Adds garlic depth and crispy texture that elevates any bowl instantly.

🍚

Rice & Grain Bowls

Sprinkle over steamed rice, fried rice, quinoa, or grain bowls. The soy-seasoned garlic crunch acts as a flavor booster, reducing the need for other condiments.

🍳

Eggs

Scatter over scrambled, fried, or soft-boiled eggs. Garlic and sesame with eggs is a classic combination — this makes it effortless every morning.

🥣

Soups

Add at the table over miso soup, congee, tom yum, or broth-based soups. Adds crunch and savory depth without softening in the liquid when eaten fresh.

🍔

Burgers & Sandwiches

Layer inside buns or scatter over open sandwiches. Garlic-sesame crunch inside a burger creates an unexpected but delicious textural contrast.

🥦

Roasted Vegetables

Toss over roasted broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or sweet potatoes straight from the oven. The warm crunch adds restaurant-quality finish to simple roasted veg.

🤏

Straight from the Jar

Deeply savory, garlicky, and crunchy — just 30 calories per teaspoon. Surprisingly addictive as a standalone snack and genuinely hard to put down once opened.

COMPLETE YOUR DISH

Build the perfect dish

Chili Garlic Crunch has a finer texture that settles into dishes rather than sitting on top — more like furikake than a chunky topper. It works best stirred through or scattered over dishes where it can coat and cling. Here’s what it pairs with best:

🥗 Mixed green salad 🍜 Ramen & noodle bowls 🍚 Steamed jasmine rice 🍳 Scrambled eggs 🥣 Miso soup 🥦 Roasted broccoli 🍔 Burgers & sliders 🥑 Avocado toast 🥝 Stir-fried tofu 🧆 Grilled chicken 🍞 Congee 🧀 Hummus & dips

What is Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch?

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is an all-purpose crispy topper made from an irresistible blend of fried garlic, sweet shallots, and toasted sesame seeds, seasoned with chili powder and gluten-free organic soy sauce. It is designed to sprinkle generously over salads, noodles, rice, soups, eggs, and virtually any savory dish for instant crunch and bold flavor. It comes in a 2.3oz (65g) jar with 11 servings.

Is Chili Garlic Crunch gluten-free?

Yes. Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is certified gluten-free. The soy sauce used is a gluten-free variety made from organic soybean and organic jasmine rice — not wheat-based soy sauce. It is also Non-GMO Project Verified and contains no artificial additives or preservatives.

Does Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch contain soy?

Yes. Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch contains soybeans from the gluten-free organic soy sauce powder used in the seasoning. It is not suitable for those with soy allergies. Please check the current product label carefully before purchasing if you have soy sensitivities.

How spicy is Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch?

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is rated Mild or 1 out of 3 chillies on the Mekhala spice scale. It has a gentle warmth from chili powder rather than intense spice, making it accessible for everyday use, for families, and for those who prefer bold flavor without significant heat. Perfect for adding an enjoyable kick without overwhelming your senses.

How should I store Chili Garlic Crunch?

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Do not refrigerate — cold and humidity will soften the crunch. Best consumed within 30 days of opening for maximum crunch and flavor. Reseal the jar tightly after each use.

Where can I buy Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch?

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is available on Amazon.com and on the Mekhala Living website at mekhalaliving.com. We're also working hard to stock it on shelves - do request for Mekhala at your favorite retailer!

Is it vegan?

Yes. Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is 100% plant-based and vegan. It contains no fish sauce, no shrimp paste, no oyster sauce, no dairy, and no eggs. Every ingredient is plant-origin.

Is it organic?

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch is Non-GMO Project Verified but is not currently USDA Certified Organic. Selected ingredients — including the soy sauce powder and coconut sugar — are individually certified organic. The full product carries Non-GMO Project Verification, which prohibits genetically modified organisms.

How does it compare to other brands and chili crunches?

Mekhala Chili Garlic Crunch differs from most chili crunches in three key ways: no palm oil (most use palm or soybean oil), certified gluten-free using a wheat-free soy sauce, and Non-GMO Project Verified. The format is also different: this is a dry crispy topper designed to sprinkle over food, not an oil-heavy condiment to stir in. The flavor is garlic-forward with toasted sesame and mild chili warmth — lighter and crunchier than oil-based chili crunches at just 30 calories per teaspoon.

What is the difference between Chili Garlic Crunch and the Crispy Onions range?

The Crispy Onions range (Umami Seaweed, Thai Chilli Lime, Sichuan Hot Pepper) are shallot-forward and come in resealable bags. Chili Garlic Crunch is garlic-forward with toasted sesame, comes in a jar, and is more similar to traditional Asian crispy garlic condiments. Both are designed to sprinkle on everything, but the flavor profiles and formats are distinct.
