I find I can have them with almost all meals every day, because they are quite tasty and convenient.
This is one of the most terrific chilli sauce I have ever tried.
老干妈辣酱 [lǎo gàn mā là jiàng]
It's made from crisp hot pepper. It's "crisp" because it is fried first before pickling.
Smell it first before devouring! It smells really really really tasty, tastes not that spicy though.
Most of the time I have it replace soy sauce while having meal.
So far I've tried it with soup, noodles, rice and even bread. Have one in your refrigerator and just put some in your dish to make food delicious at any time.
I think 老干妈辣酱 is quite popular aroud the world; I've found it in many Chinese shop in UK and the U.S.A. Of course it's more easy to get one in China and Taiwan.
I just bought this one for 80 NT (about 2.5 USD) at 7-11 downstairs.
By the way, note that the brand is "老干妈". I've noticed that due to its great popularity, there appear 山寨版 [shān zhài bǎn] in the market such as ''老干爹" and "老干娘".
If you know any great sauce, please let me know.
Looks delicious. I'll have to see if my local Asian supermarket has it. I moved to the Netherlands a few years ago and still have trouble finding Chinese ingredients here.
ReplyDeleteto Kelly: it's should be easy to find one in Chinese supermarket (if there is any in your neighborhood) you should try this. good luck!
