Congee with Cilantro Ginger Chicken Meatballs!

Our friend Chloe Walsh, better known as @chloecooks__  on IG, shared this favorite recipe using our hot garlic.  

"When I say this is my favorite chili crunch / chilli garlic crunch out there, please know - I am not lying! I first tried by picking up a jar from @altadenabev and it was love at first taste, and unfortunately for me, was gone in less than a week, only having been consumed by me! So as you can imagine, I truly was obsessed from the get go!"
