FAQs
How spicy is the crispy chilli oil?
Lao Gan Ma crispy chilli in oil is made with sichuan pepper and dried chillies. Sichuan pepper has distinct tongue-tingling notes, with a cold-heat, rather than an overpowering spice. When mixed with dried chillies and soybeans, the result is a chilli oil with balanced heat and umami depth.
Why is Lao Gan Ma so popular?
Lao Gan Ma is the most famous brand of chilli oil used throughout China. Lao Gan Ma or ‘old godmother’ was founded in 1997 by Tao Huabi, the woman whose picture is on each jar! After being widowed, Huabi opened a noodle shop as a means for supporting her family, and quickly became renowned for her spicy sauces. The brand now has a cult following across the world.
