CHUANLAOHUI Broad Bean Paste 500g: Deep Savoury Cooking Guide

CHUANLAOHUI broad bean paste 500g is the sort of Great Finds jar that quietly changes a midweek pan of noodles, tofu or aubergine. The paste is dense and slightly grainy, with a deep fermented bean scent and chilli warmth that blooms as it hits hot oil. In France, it suits cooks who want proper Sichuan-style depth without fuss, though its salty, punchy character does call for a light hand rather than a generous dollop.
