I recently read about Chili Crisp, a spicy oil-based condiment most commonly used in Chinese cuisine. I combined it with cream cheese, salty feta and sweet honey to balance all the flavors and create the perfect bite. I served mine with fried wonton chips (simply fry wonton wraps in veggie oil until lightly browned and drain on paper towels), but you could also serve this with buttery crackers, rice crackers or veggies.
