Lee Kum Kee Chili Bean Sauce, Toban Djan 368g

Toban Djan (豆瓣酱), also known as chili bean sauce, is a savoury and spicy paste fundamental to Chinese cuisine, particularly from the Sichuan region. This version from Lee Kum Kee is made from a special blend of fermented broad beans, soybeans, salt, sugar, and chili peppers, creating a deep, umami-rich flavour with a robust, spicy kick. It serves as an excellent base for classic dishes like Mapo Tofu or as a flavour enhancer in stir-fries, noodle dishes, and braised meats. For a quick and flavourful meal, mix a spoonful into fried rice or use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings and hot pot. This versatile paste is a key ingredient for anyone looking to recreate authentic Asian flavours at home. Contains SOY and WHEAT.
