Spicy Chile Crisp

I like oyster sauce on my vegetables and fried rice
Have never tried the Jan Jan vegetarian XO till today, was good, nothing compared to the XO with scallops and chinese ham but there is a huge price difference as well as for the fact that I cannot tolerate red meat as of October 2018.
I use broad bean sauce, soy sauce etc when I marinade, but not the Sichuan broad bean sauce. new item today.
For bean threads, I like to use Costco’s marinaded wild more salmon , reserve the marinade, pan fry the salmon, skin side down, then peel the salmon skin and learned how to eat the skin crispy by crisping the underside a bit more, then, I remove the salmon, add EVOO, some garlic and add presoftened bean thread, the marinade from salmon, some more chicken stock and some Korean spicy gochuchang and finally, sesame oil and some spicy chili crisp. I even like to make my vermicelli crispy likened to the socarrat of paella.
Costco wild marinade salmon is very reasonable, 6 individually sealed pouch for around $18.00. I take it out and place the pouch in water basin for 20 minutes and it is ready to go.
