If you love kimchi, you'll surely be a fan of this spicy pickled bamboo shoot! Bamboo shoots are dried under the sun, then added to a mixture of chili oil, sugar, salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil. The end result is a salty, umami, flavor-rich condiment that you can use for many dishes. Try this pickled bamboo to flavor soups and stir-fries, or as a traditional congee side dish.

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!
