Ep 8 | CHILLI OIL – HOW TO SHOP AT YOUR LOCAL ASIAN GROCER by Sam Low

Ep 8 | CHILLI OIL – HOW TO SHOP AT YOUR LOCAL ASIAN GROCER In this episode of How to Shop at Your Local Asian Grocer, we’re diving into the world of Chinese chili oil—a pantry essential that brings bold heat and flavor to countless dishes. Chili oil has a long history in Chinese cuisine, dating back over a thousand years. Traditionally made by infusing hot oil with dried chili flakes, aromatics, and spices, this versatile condiment is packed with rich, smoky, and spicy flavors. Today, many brands offer their own unique takes, from Lao Gan Ma’s iconic varieties to Lee Kum Kee’s Chiu Chow-style chili oil. I love keeping a mix of store-bought and homemade chili oils on hand (you can find my recipe in Modern Chinese). Each one has its own flavor profile, so it’s worth experimenting to find your favorite. Chili oil is incredibly versatile—perfect for mixing into sauces, mayo, and dips, drizzling over stir-fries, or adding a fiery kick to your favorite dishes. Store it in the fridge for longevity or the pantry if you use it often. Filmed at Jadan on Dominion Rd, Mt Roskill, Auckland, NZ.
