Left to your own fruition we doubt you’d conjure up this combination of soybeans and chili oil. Its aroma is at once reminiscent of ripe pineapple and savory fermented fish. The beans have a surprisingly crispy texture and a lingering clean heat. Try it as one stop shop for adding punch to pork or plain rice. You can also use it in tandem with other typical Asian flavors like ginger, scallions, and soy sauce.

Lao Gan Ma, an affectionate term that translates loosely to “godmother”, is likely named so because of the woman gracing every jar’s label. Started in 1996 they’ve become ubiquitous in China, but are harder to find stateside. With the capacity to make 430,000 jars of chili-based products per day, they may seem akin to large commercial food enterprises, but one taste will assure you that these traditionally made products are far from a standardization of flavor.

老干妈是一种充满感情的称呼，可以大致翻译成“教母”，之所以这样命名可能是因为瓶罐上这个慈祥的女人。老干妈品牌开始于1996年，现在在中国已经无处不在，然而在美国本土却难以求得。每天43万罐之多的辣油产品被生产出来，这使得老干妈看起来更像是一个大型商业食品企业。不过只要品尝一下，我们就能让你了解：标准化制造下的口味和这种传统的风味相差甚远。
