SERIOUS FLAVOR:

Tingly, numbing, nuanced, complex, and of course spicy; made with a dozen spices and aromatics, chiles and freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns. This authentic Chinese condiment has a medium heat level and a numbing, tingling sensation on the tongue from the Sichuan peppercorns that accents the hot chilis. Our Sichuan Chili Oil offers layers and layers of flavor, not just heat. The flavor concept of “ma la”, the hallmark of Szechuan cuisine, is named for the Chinese characters for “numbing” and “spicy”. For maximum mala, we freshly grind the best Sichuan peppercorns available and add them to two types of chile flakes and an umami-rich infused oil. With a medium heat level this Sichuanese sauce is meant to be used generously.

Best Stuff Ever
I received this as a present and I am in love with it! I put this on *almost* everything, it’s just that good. What I like most about this chili oil is all of the flavor that’s packed into it, it’s not just chilis. It has ginger, shallots, and garlic too that make the taste that much better. I’d also say it makes a great gift because it looks fancy and tastes great!

I absolutely love this chili oil and probably go through a jar every two months. It is addictively delicious. I use it on absolutely everything – on fried eggs, in noodle, rice and stirfried meat and veggie dishes, in sandwiches. I drizzle it on avocado toast. Very spicy so just put the amount you need. I have spent alot of time in China and Sichuan huajiao pepper and sichuan seasoning are some of my favorite flavors – I think Blank Slate has really captured the right balance here.

Lucia

It is an essential item in my kitchen and is beloved in ramen and on eggs, hash browns and even tuna fish sandwiches. My kids (ages 8 & 4) also use it with frequency. Why? It has a wonderful blend of many rich flavors – it is warm ( not super spicy), rich, balanced and gives the tongue an addictive tingle. I give jars away as gifts and consistently get compliments. This is a unique product I can’t recommend highly enough.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this a chili crisp, or how is it different

Chili oil and chili crisp are two different things, though they are closely related. Crisps tend to be mostly solids, whereas chili oil is mostly oil with about 30% of it being solids. Ours really emphasizes the Sichuan flavor profile, with lots of tingly numbing peppercorn and other spices. Chili crisps generally are more about the texture of the crunchy bits and the chilis and the tingly Sichuan peppercorns are a more minor note, if they are present at all.

Does it contain non-GMO oil?

Yes, it is made with non-GMO sunflower and/or canola oil.

Is it vegan / gluten free / egg free / dairy free / nut free / etc?

Yes! Our it is vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free and sugar-free, though we do not yet have certifications for these.

Do you use additives or artificial flavors?

No, we use nothing artificial, and no preservatives.

Do I need to refrigerate it?

No, it does not need to be refrigerated.

How long will it last?

We recommend you consume it within two years (the Best By date printed on the lid), as the oil could start degrading after this time.

What’s the deal with the spelling of Sichuan vs Szechuan?

Szechuan is an outdated spelling and the currently accepted spelling in English is Sichuan.

Ma Po Tofu is one of my go-to dishes for Sichuan restaurants. This is my attempt at a quick and easy home rendition. Is it strictly authentic? No. But it’s delicious and easy. The meat can be left out if you’d prefer a vegetarian version.

This recipe is based on the excellent (and much more authentic) recipe by J. Kenji López-Alt found at Serious Eats. Another great, authentic recipe can be found at The Mala Market, which is an excellent reference for Sichuan cooking, as well as a good resource for ingredients.

This brunch stunner is sure to impress with a beautiful presentation and intriguing, bold flavors. The potato nest is a version of a Sichuan Chinese stir-fried potato; the potatoes are just barely cooked with an al dente texture, and have a big hit of vinegar. The marbled eggs are a cool technique; cracking the shell of soft boiled eggs and soaking them in a dark liquid results in veins of color, giving them a marbled appearance, and the liquid seasons the eggs as well. Generous lashings of Sichuan Chili Oil bring a pop of color and an electrifying jolt on the palate.
