Unleash the authentic, fiery, and deeply savory flavors of Sichuan cuisine with LKK Chili Bean Sauce, also known as Toban Djan or Doubanjiang. This convenient case contains 12 individual jars, each holding 368g (approximately 12 oz) of this robust and indispensable condiment.
LKK Chili Bean Sauce is a fermented paste made from broad beans, chili peppers, salt, and sometimes wheat flour. It's renowned for its complex flavor profile: a potent combination of spicy heat, fermented umami, and a savory depth that develops over time. It's a cornerstone ingredient, especially in Sichuan cooking, but its versatility extends to many Asian dishes:
-
Sichuan Dishes: Absolutely essential for classics like Mapo Tofu, Twice-Cooked Pork (Hui Guo Rou), and Dan Dan Noodles, providing their characteristic depth and spice.
-
Stir-Fries: Add a spoonful to your stir-fries to infuse them with rich umami, a fermented complexity, and a satisfying kick.
-
Marinades & Rubs: Use sparingly in marinades for meats or tofu to impart a unique savory and spicy character.
-
Sauce Base: Forms an excellent foundation for various Asian sauces, gravies, and braised dishes, adding a fermented dimension that cannot be replicated.
-
Flavor Enhancer: A small amount can significantly boost the flavor of soups, stews, and hot pots, giving them a more profound, spicy depth.
