Chilli in Oil Fermented Soybeans in Chilli Oil Laoganma 280g

Laoganma is an iconic Chinese chili sauce brand, founded in 1997 in Guizhou. Known for its intense flavors and crunchy additions, it has gained popularity worldwide. Its products, such as Fermented Soybeans in Chilli Oil, combine tradition with a unique aroma.

Laoganma Fermented Soybeans in Chilli Oil 280 g is an iconic, versatile addition that instantly elevates the flavor of home-cooked dishes. In the jar, you will find thick, aromatic chilli oil filled with crunchy pieces of fermented soybeans (douchi), which bring a powerful umami, a slightly smoky character, and a pleasant, warming spiciness. This combination acts as a "shortcut to flavor": a teaspoon in a bowl of rice or noodles transforms a simple meal into something bold and satisfying. The sauce works great as a topping for fried eggs, tofu, dumplings, grilled vegetables, roasted cauliflower, or pan-fried fish. In wok cooking, you can add it at the end of frying to coat the ingredients in an aromatic glaze; in just a few moments, it creates a base for noodles, fried rice, and quick stir-fries. It pairs perfectly with soy sauce and chinkiang vinegar – from this trio, you can create an instant dip for jiaozi, wontons, and spring rolls. Mixed with mayonnaise, it gives a spicy, creamy sauce for sandwiches, burgers, and fries, and a drop added to ramen, pho, or broth gives them a deeper, "restaurant-style" finish. Natural separation of the oil on top is normal – stir before use to distribute the crunchy bits. After opening, store in the refrigerator and use a clean spoon to maintain freshness. The spiciness can be described as medium-high: intense, but pleasantly balanced with the saltiness of douchi and the caramelized note of fried chilli. This is a jar that is always worth having on hand – when you only have rice, an egg, and a vegetable, Laoganma will add character to them from Guizhou: deep, spicy, and addictively good.
