The Brand

Fly By Jing

Fly By Jing was founded in 2018 by Jing Gao, who was born in Chengdu, grew up between Europe and Canada, worked as a brand manager at Procter and Gamble, then cooked in China and opened a restaurant in Shanghai before moving to California. The name points at Chengdu's fly restaurants, the hole-in-the-wall places the brand describes as so good they attract diners like flies. Gao ran pop-ups and an underground dinner series first, then funded her first sauce on Kickstarter in 2018 with about 1,700 backers pledging 120,000 dollars.

The company makes Sichuan sourced condiments and noodles, sold direct and through retailers including Whole Foods, Target and Costco. Sauces are made in Chengdu using regional ingredients: Erjingtiao chiles, the Sichuan peppercorn variety known as Tribute pepper, and cold-pressed non-GMO rapeseed oil. The line runs vegan, sugar free, with no artificial flavors and no preservatives. Gao also wrote The Book of Sichuan Chili Crisp, a James Beard Award winner with 85 recipes covering dumplings through cocktails and desserts.

Gao went by Jenny for most of her life and returned to her birth name around 2021, a shift the brand prints on its own labels. She remains founder and CEO. The company took growth investment from Prelude Growth Partners and was part of the Techstars LA 2019 class.

Pantry FAQs

Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.

You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.

Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.

Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.

Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.

Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.

These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
