Blank Slate Kitchen Szechuan Chili Oil

Contains Sesame Seed and/or Sesame Oil

Tingly, numbing, nuanced, complex, and of course spicy! Our Szechuan chili oil is infused with a dozen spices and herbs as well as two types of ground chilis and ground Sichuan peppercorns! Unlike anything else on the market, our Szechuan Chili Oil offers layers and layers of flavor, not just heat. The flavor concept of "ma la," common in Sichuan cuisine, is named for the Chinese characters for "numbing" and "spicy." Szechuan peppercorns provide a tingly numbness on the tongue that accents the spice from the chilis. With a medium heat level, it is meant to be used generously. Replicate Sichuan recipes at home with ease, including Mapo Tofu, Bang Bang Chicken, and more. Perfect as a dumpling sauce, drizzled over noodles or rice, or simple over eggs.
