S&B Layu, Chili Oil, 1.11 fl oz

I've tried so many different brands of chili oil, and always crawl my way back to this. No other brand I've found has the delicious sesame flavor and heat level that this brand has. Great value for the money - this little bottle will last you a while, even if you use it every day. It's great to add into cooking, and easy to use with the little press button to release the oil. I always have some leakage when I first open the bottle, but usually once the flip top is screwed into place, this leaks far less than any other oil bottle. This is likely the only oil I'll buy for the rest of my life, now that I've convinced myself that others don't hold a candle.

Cute and functional little dispenser bottle; however, the oil inside is not very hot at all. I could barely detect that there was even chili within the oil. I went ahead and added a couple of Thai bird peppers in there, and that actually works to spice it up works to spice it up (and they seem to be preserved by the oil, so they don't really get nasty in there). The oil has a nice flavor, and is really good LIGHTLY used on things like raw cabbage with black sesame seed and seaweed flakes. Also great to season fish skin (eg, trout, salmon, sea bass) before microwaving into chips between parchment.

If you've had this before, it is exactly what you'd expect. And if you are eating ramen, udon, etc, chili oil is really a big part of filling out that flavor. It's perfect.

I add this to anything that needs a little bit of chili heat to it.It's very easy to use.Just add a couple drops as needed, be it a hot or cold dish.The flavor is very good.Try this in soups, ramen, noodles, etc.It's also very good at spicing up take out when it feels a bit bland.This does not last long in my house, and I am glad Amazon carries it because I can't find it locally.

I love putting this in Spicy Mayo when making spicy ahi tuna. Taste just like the supermarkets in Hawaii! Definitely recommend this chili oil and you can’t go wrong with S&B!

This Asian hot oil is good as I have ordered more. It has a toasted aroma and is hot but not too hot. The bottle it comes with leaks when pouring so I am transferring it to an old soy sauce bottle. The price is a bit high and the bottle isn't good but the oil is.

I first tried it when a friend brought it as a gift from her visit to Japan. It made my mouth dance in happiness. I add this to any Asian dish to spruce it up and it makes a huge difference in the dish. All you need is a couple of drops and you’re gtg. I was extremely happy to find it on Amazon and have been buying it online for the past 5 years.

Fell in love with this stuff in Japan for slicing up ramen, rice, anything really. I use it on any Asian food really. Favorite feature is that it works like a dropper, so you can be very precise about how much and where you apply it.
