My favorite nearby Asian food mart is closing with plans to reopen months from now in a new location. I need this stuff badly as a staple that must always be in stock, but I don't need it badly enough to pay nearly twice what it costs in a retail store, plus nearly double that again to have it sent to me. I love Amazon so I hate it when Amazon is the worst possible place to buy a product, but there it is.
I will look around for other sources because this stuff is AWESOME. It has more fire than the relatively wimpy chili oils in the ethnic sections of mainstream US grocery stores, but you can control the burn factor by choosing how much to use in your recipe or as a condiment. The flavor is subtle and isn't overbearing even if you load it on to increase the heat. Very versatile and very good.

Although many folks cook with this oil I use it as a condiment. I love the way the spicy heat builds and spreads, and the subtle and not-so-subtle flavors that you can taste. Also, it is salty enough to use as a substitute for salt the same way you would with soy sauce or a fish sauce.
A little goes a long way, and especially if you are counting calories, fat or sodium intake. A serving is about a teaspoon - more than enough to mix into rice or drizzle over other dishes - and it comes in at 90 calories. That same serving contains 9 grams of fat and 440mg of sodium. So, do use sparingly if you are watching any of those nutritional factors.
Another thing that I personally love is this is unfiltered. There are pieces of peppers and other ingredients that will suspend in the oil if you vigorously shake the jar before serving. Those add a lot to the flavor profile, which is predominately salty and piquant (and there is also a distinct element of umami).
If you love spicy sauces and oils and want to 'spice' up your meal (pun intended) this is an excellent infused oil that will do the trick. I wish I could elaborate on how it works for sir frying, but I do not use it that way. I can say that it is an excellent condiment.

If you're into asian cuisine, you'll surely enjoy this sauce. It has the right amount of spiciness and saltiness in it. I can totally eat plain white rice with this chili oil.
It has 2 parts: the oil and the stuff in it. Make sure you get a good ratio of both, because if you have too much of one component, it's not as fun to eat.
