Cooking tips

  • Blanching ingredients in hot water before stir-frying prevents excess moisture from developing during cooking and reduces overall prep time.
  • Shujiu (huajiao oil) is responsible for the signature numbing sensation in mala dishes; adjust the amount according to personal preference.
  • If chili oil is unavailable, substitute with 3 tablespoons of regular cooking oil mixed with 1 tablespoon of fine red chili powder.

Recommended for

  • Those who find delivery mala xiangguo too expensive and want to enjoy it affordably at home.
  • People seeking spicy, numbing, satisfying beer snacks to relieve stress.
