Chili Beak - Artisanal Spicy Roasted Siomai Chili Oil Sauce - Habanero, 6 oz

The only one in the market that packs enough punch. Even just using the oil can greatly enhance your food and cooking!

I bought this based off of other reviews and knowing I have a pretty high tolerance for spice. I was looking for an alternative to hot sauces and cheap "chili flavored" oils. I like how you can really dress up a lot of Chinese and Korean soup dishes by using the chili oil as a float - It works well for that. The flavor is very versatile and doesn't adhere to any one cuisine. Definitely good on carnitas tacos, enchiladas, but also excellent on Chinese dishes as well. I could even see myself putting this on eggs and pizza even! The flavor overall is surprisingly mild and smokey. Has a bit of a paprika odor more so than raw chilis. The spice for me is actually tame, but it does open up your pores a bit, which is strange for me. It lacks a lot of sharpness that many hot sauces have, definitely more of a warming heat. That is my only disappointment really, I was hoping it'd be spicier. As a result, I end up using a lot of the stuff whenever I break it out, which is a shame considering how versatile and good it is and how often I want to use it.

Enjoying hot and spicy foods, Richard added just one teaspoon to our chicken stir fry the first time we tried out this Roasted Chili Oil. Ooh lah lah! It was WARM! Tasted great though but a little too hot for our kids and definitely brought out some sweat on our brows!A natural food, the list of ingredients are:Sunflower Oil * Dried Chilies * Real Salt * Sesame Oil * Garlic PowderAlthough I cannot see it written on the jar I would recommend storing this in the refrigerator once opened. You will find that the chilies sink to the bottom of the jar. Shaking the jar does not work so use a spoon to really stir them up!I purchased this product at a 20% discount in return for an honest review. Yes, I had to pay shipping! Would we recommend this? Yes! Will we be using more of it? Yes! As a little goes a long way this jar should last us a while so with taking that in account, not that expensive. Thanks, Liz

I'm a bit disappointed with this chili/habanero oil. I wanted something that would rip my throat out, something hot and amazingly satisfying. Some reviewers claimed that the normal chili oil wasn't up to par but that the habanero chili oil was. Maybe I got a weak batch, I'm not certain, but I am certain that for nearly 15 dollars I could have done a lot better buying a ghost chili pepper sauce that would have delivered better results. When looking at the picture it looks thick, like there are ton of peppers in there. It's a bit deceiving, as a scoop like the one pictured would be nearly half the chili contents of the jar. It's mostly oil, cheap oil at that. I would not repurchase and am a bit disappointed by the rave reviews. It's so mild that I can add it to nearly anything and not feel the heat. I added to to several roasts, baked, and several soups. Neither had the kick I was looking for. I now use it for Chinese food and have added about 1/3 Cup of added chili flakes to the oil. This has helped a decent amount but should not have been needed.

The right level of spice and flavour for Habanero. Consistant with the 3 times ive ordered it. I put it on everything.

I wanted a chili oil that was spicier than the ones I've had previously, and this one delivers that in spade. It's not your typical chili oil, the flavor is a bit more subtle, and it doesn't have a pervasive salty or MSG taste to it. Which makes it work admirably in dishes where there aren't a lot of strong flavors: eggs, ramen, rice, etc. The heat level is fantastic, but might be quite strong for those not used to the kick that the habanero pepper has. Since it is an oil, it also lingers in your mouth for a good bit, which is a major plus for me. I'll definitely be coming back for more of this fantastic chili oil!

I honestly don't write a whole lot of reviews on a normal basis, but this Habanero chili oil definitely deserves one. I've already went through two bottles and bought several for my other spicy loving workers. The kick is amazing it being habanero chili flakes & oil, but it's the amazing flavor of this product when mixed with any sort of meal/snack, is what it's all about. The flavor is impeccable and I highly recommend it to any spicy food lover. I mix this with race, meats, veggies and even soups to kick it a different flavor and kick to boot. Huge props to the creators of this product, rock on!

I was looking for something similar to what I get in the Thai restaurant. Searched until I found this. It is so delicious, I can't help but put it on everything! I've already gone through 1 bottle. They need to make it in a large bottle. And the ingredients are simple and natural. I was looking in an Asian grocery, and the product they had there had scary ingredients. I think you will love this if you love spicy chili oil. You will find it cheaper to order on Chili Beak website, however.
