White Mausu Black Bean Rayu Sauce 240g

Black Bean Rāyu Sauce

White Mausu Black Bean Rāyu Sauce 240g is a deeply savoury chilli oil built around fermented black soy beans, known for their rich, salty intensity and unmistakable depth. Combined with chilli flakes, garlic, and warming spices like star anise and cinnamon, it delivers a bold, layered flavour that lingers.

This black bean chilli oil leans into umami, with a gentle heat that builds rather than overwhelms. The fermented beans bring a slightly funky, savoury character, balanced by aromatic spices and a touch of sweetness. Black sesame seeds add a subtle nuttiness, while the oil carries everything evenly through a dish.

A small spoonful goes a long way, making it an easy way to add depth and complexity without overcomplicating cooking. Stir through noodles, spoon over rice, or use it to finish vegetables, meats, or broths. It’s particularly well suited to dishes that benefit from a savoury boost and a touch of warmth.

What are fermented black beans and why are they used in chilli oil?

Fermented black beans are salted and aged soy beans that develop a deep, savoury flavour. They are commonly used in Chinese cooking to add intensity and complexity to sauces and oils.

What does Sichuan pepper add to this rāyu?

Sichuan pepper brings a subtle tingling sensation and a citrus-like aroma, which lifts the richness of the oil and adds another layer of flavour beyond heat.

Why is this chilli oil described as ‘funky’?

The term refers to the natural depth and slightly fermented character of the black beans, which gives the oil a more complex and savoury profile compared to standard chilli oils.
