Mom’s Mala

I may be biased by association, but I love love loveeee Mom’s Mala sauce. It is easily hands-down my favorite condiment of all time. It is a beautiful Sichuan chili sauce of both oil and chili crisp. This is a family-centric company that I am glad to have worked with. We often don’t let the house run out and every little chili crisp is valued.

Mom’s Mala is a nuanced aromatic spicy condiment that helps to balance any savory dish. I have also added it to vegan vanilla and chocolate ice cream, definitely recommend. Do yourself a flavor favor and order a jar or two of this pantry staple here today. They make great gifts too.

Other things to amplify with Mom’s Mala:

  • Popcorn
