Using a special in-house technique to extract and manufacture red chili pepper flavor, S&B produced La-Yu Chili Oil. Thanks to its use of sesame oil, alongside the heat you’ll find some depth of flavor and nuttiness. Add it to spice up your soups, noodles, fried meat, and even salad or sushi! It’s that versatile.
In its simplest form, chili oil is exactly as it sounds: an oil that’s been infused with dried chilis. But there are countless ways to make chili oil, and the nuanced taste can differ significantly as a result. We’re talking flavor combinations that include crunchy garlic, fermented black beans, peanuts and shrimp paste: all of which will change the outcome of your meal overall. Each region of China makes its own specific kind, be it Hunan, Shaanxi, Guizhou or Sichuan chili oil.
If you’re wondering how to use chili oil, the joy of this versatile condiment is that it can be used on virtually anything: for instance, both dumplings and instant noodles are immediately more tasty with a glug of chili oil. You can even drizzle it on ice cream!
