What is Sichuan Chilli Oil?

Sichuan chilli oil is that one ingredient that takes dishes from good to unforgettable. At its core, it’s a blend of oil infused with dried Sichuan chillies, and Sichuan peppercorns, which bring that distinctive numbing, tingling heat—what the Chinese call “mala.” When you drizzle it over food, it doesn’t just add spice; it introduces an entire layering of warm, smoky aroma and a slight buzz on the tongue. 

What’s special about our Sichuan chilli oil is its complexity, as it’s not just about the heat but also about depth, with notes of garlic, onion, ginger, and a combination of spices in some variations. It’s our secret to adding bold, rich flavour to almost any dish, from noodles and stir-fries to soups and even salads. In short, it’s a must-have for anyone who loves flavours that are as daring as they are delicious.

Health Benefits of Sichuan Chilli Oil

Sichuan chilli oil isn’t just about bold flavours; it actually packs a few surprising health benefits, too. The Sichuan peppercorns, for example, contain antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties that can support heart health. Capsaicin, the compound in chillies responsible for that fiery kick, is known to boost metabolism and may even help reduce pain by releasing endorphins. And let’s not forget the garlic and ginger often found in Sichuan chilli oil—both are loaded with immune-boosting and digestive benefits. So, when you reach for our jar of chilli oil, you’re doing more than enhancing flavour; you’re adding a touch of wellness to each dish, even everyday meals.

Ways to Use Sichuan Chilli Oil in Everyday Meals

One of the main reasons for the popularity of Sichuan Chilli oil is that it is incredibly versatile. Here is how you can incorporate sesame chilli oils into everyday meals.

1. Stir-Fries and Sautéed Veggies
A few drops of Sichuan chilli oil can transform a simple vegetable stir-fry. Add it to the wok directly, drizzle it over the finished dish for an extra kick or use it as a finishing touch for stir-fried vegetables, tofu, or meats. The versatility of the oil is unparalleled. However, traditionally, it is always added at the end of cooking to keep the flavour fresh and bold, enhancing even the simplest stir-fry.

2. Noodles and Rice
Noodles, like whole wheat noodles or Chinese-style noodles, taste better with a drizzle of Sichuan chilli oil, as it adds warmth and depth to the dish. If you want a quick and easy meal, just toss your noodles in a mixture of chilli oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. It makes a bold and spicy meal. 

For a simple but flavorful meal, you can even just drizzle Sichuan chilli oil over a bowl of noodles or rice. It instantly makes the dish richer and spicier, turning plain rice into something special.

3. Marinades and Sauces
Mix a bit of chilli oil into marinades for tofu, chicken, or your protein of choice to add a burst of flavour that enhances every bite. Combine it with garlic, soy sauce, and ginger to create a standout marinade or glaze. You can also mix a little chilli oil into soy sauce, vinegar, or peanut sauce to make a dipping sauce that packs an extra layer of heat, which is perfect for dumplings, spring rolls, or even as a dip for vegetables. Adding chilli oil to marinades for chicken or tofu gives them a bold heat that truly shines when grilled or baked.

4. Soups and Broths
Chilli oil also makes broths and soups taste better as it adds a bit of heat and spicy flavour. Try it in simple miso soup, ramen, or chicken broth; in all of these, it perfectly elevates the flavour and makes it more comforting. A spoonful of chilli oil in soups like chicken broth or ramen warms you up on cold days. It's also great when you want something spicy and comforting.

5. Dress Up Eggs and Elevate Salads
To add a fiery depth of flavour to your breakfast, start by drizzling chilli oil over it. A small amount of chilli oil can instantly transform simple dishes into flavour-packed bites. For a morning meal with a spicy kick, try drizzling it over scrambled eggs, omelettes, or avocado toast. Chili oil enhances classic breakfast dishes by adding warmth and spice, making them even more enjoyable. 

To add a unique spicy flavour to your salads, incorporate Sichuan chilli oil into your dressings. A little goes a long way—mix the chilli oil with vinegar, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar for an Asian-inspired vinaigrette that is perfect for greens or cucumber salads. You can either blend the chilli oil into salad dressings or drizzle it directly over the greens.
