Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chilli in Oil 670g

Description: Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chilli in Oil 670g is the big value jar of China's best-known chilli oil, made for households that get through the small jar far too quickly. Inside is the same famous mix: crispy chilli and fried onion in fragrant soybean oil, with fermented soybeans and a gentle tingle of Sichuan peppercorn. It brings savoury crunch and warmth rather than outright fire, so it ends up on everything from morning eggs to midnight noodles. If chilli oil is a staple in your kitchen, this is the jar that makes sense.

Tuk Tuk Method: Spoon straight over noodles, rice or stir-fries. Mix with soy sauce and black vinegar for an instant dumpling dip. Brush over chicken wings or corn on the cob before grilling. More ways to use the big jar:

• Stir a spoonful through fried rice right at the end, so the crispy bits keep their crunch.

• Toss with cold noodles, cucumber and a splash of sesame oil for a quick lunchtime bowl.

• Fry eggs in the oil and spoon the crispy chilli over the top for a fast breakfast.

• Mix into mayonnaise for a spicy dip that works with chips, prawn crackers and crudités.

• Marinate pork belly or tofu in it before roasting for a savoury, gently numbing crust.

A cold drink alongside helps with the heat:

• Coconut Drinks, such as Chaokoh Coconut Juice with Pulp, It is refreshing and hydrating and can help cool down your mouth and throat.
• Soybean Drinks, such as Yeo's Soyabean Drink, It is creamy and nutritious and can help balance the spiciness and acidity of the chilli oil.
• Rice Drinks, such as Woongjin Morning Rice Drink, It is smooth and soothing and can help ease the numbness and tingling of the Sichuan peppercorn.

Storage: Keep products out of direct sunlight in a cool and dry place.
