Mr. Bing

Mr. Bing is a Beijing street food restaurant that has been serving up delicious eats for over 10 years. Their signature ingredient, Mr. Bing Chili Crisp, is an intensely flavorful, crispy condiment that can be used to elevate everyday meals with a burst of heat and just enough sweetness. Made with four peppers of complementary heat, smokiness, and fruitiness, umami-rich mushroom powder, and a crunchy punch of garlic and onion, it brings the flavor of Northern China home.

Mr. Bing Chili Crisp was developed in Hong Kong in 2013 as a signature ingredient in Mr. Bing’s cult-favorite jianbing, a mung-bean batter crepe filled with fried dough, egg, scallions, and the spicy, garlicky umami kick of chili crisp. In 2015, Mr. Bing started to feed hungry New Yorkers, and the Vendy Awards crowned Mr. Bing “Rookie of the Year” for Best New Street Food.
