Mala Market Chili Oil and Sauce Collection (Specialties of Sichuan and Guizhou)

Over the past couple of years we have gone directly to the source in Sichuan and Guizhou to find the quintessential chili oils of China's boldest cuisines. This collection includes the Mala Market's full line of chili oils, crisps and cooking sauces at a 10% discount off individual prices. 

While all four sauces are built on a base of Guizhou chilies and roasted rapeseed oil and are moderately hot, from there they diverge greatly in both taste and texture, giving you a chili oil for every dish and every mood, both as condiment and cooking sauce. 

Each of these chili sauces is made for us by a different specialist manufacturer in small batches from non-GMO ingredients and is gluten free and preservative free. Click on individual product name to go to its page and learn more, including nutrition facts. 

Chengdu Crispy Chili Oil
This is a Chengdu-style chili oil made from Sichuan's favorite chilies, Sichuan pepper and roasted rapeseed oil along with crispy peanuts, sesame and garlic and hints of soy-sauce umami. Created by national-level master chefs in Sichuan, it is about 2/3 oil and 1/3 crisp so it can be used in Sichuan sauces for cold dishes as well as as an everyday condiment. 
Size: 8.3 ounces (236 grams)
Ingredients: roasted rapeseed oil (infused with onion and ginger), chilies, peanut, soy sauce (soybean, salt, caramel), sesame, salt, garlic, sugar, Sichuan pepper, spices, yeast extract
Allergens: peanut, soybean, sesame

Guizhou Chili Crisp
While Sichuan is renowned for its chili oil, Guizhou Province is the home of the type of chili oil that's chock-full of crispy bits and nuts and is referred to as chili crisp or chili crunch in English. We can thank Lao Gan Ma for taking this style of chili sauce from Guizhou to the far corners of the world. Our chili crisp is also made in the province, but with all-premium ingredients—a blend of Guizhou's famous chilies, cold-pressed roasted rapeseed oil, crispy garlic and ginger and whole roasted peanuts. 
Size: 8.1 ounces (230 grams)
Ingredients: roasted rapeseed oil, chilies, peanut, ginger, garlic, salt, msg
Allergens: peanut

Guizhou Black Bean Chili Oil
Both a condiment and a cooking sauce, Guizhou Black Bean Chili Oil proves what a brilliant combination spicy and umami is. Douchi, or fermented black beans as they are called in English, are one of the most-loved flavorings of China because they are pure, concentrated umami. Mix douchi into a Guizhou-style chili oil and you get a readymade sauce for dressing noodles and stir-fries with minimum effort and maximum effect. 
Size: 8.1 ounces (230 grams)
Ingredients: roasted rapeseed oil, chilies, fermented soybean (soybean, water salt), sugar, msg, spices
Allergens: soybean 

Sichuan Mala Sauce for Stir-Fry and Dry Pot
Unlike the other sauces in this collection, this one is based on Pixian doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste) and is a cooking sauce. It also includes pickled er jing tiao chilies and Sichuan fermented soybeans (douchi), along with a slew of aromatics and spices. It was created as a sauce for Sichuan dry pot, which is a stir-fry with numerous pre-cooked ingredients of your choosing that has flavors similar to Sichuan hot pot. But this Sichuan Mala Sauce is super versatile and can be used for basic stir-fries or to flavor soups, stews and braises.  
Size: 11.3 ounces (320 grams)
Ingredients: roasted rapeseed oil, Pixian bean paste (broad bean, salt, chili), pickled er jing tiao chili, salt, ginger, garlic, chili, sugar, msg, fermented soybean, sesame, Sichuan pepper, spices
Allergens: soybean, sesame
