Spice Paste In Chilli Oil LAO GAN MA, 200 g

Unlock the deep, savory secrets of Chinese cuisine with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Bean Paste.

Formerly known as Bean Paste in Chili Oil, this authentic sauce is a concentrated blend of fiery chilies and rich, fermented soybeans. Unlike the texture-heavy "Chili Crisp," this version acts as a powerful umami base, perfect for seasoning Mapo Tofu, marinating meats, or enriching stir-fry sauces. Its high protein content and savory "miso-like" depth come from the traditional fermentation of soy and wheat flour. A staple for home chefs who want more than just heat, it provides a complex, salty, and spicy foundation to any dish.

• Best For: Mapo Tofu, stir-fry seasoning, authentic Chinese marinades, and flavor-boosting rice bowls.
