Pixian chili paste is made from broad bean instead of soy bean. Pixian chili paste has its unique flavor and enjoys a high reputation all over world. Although spicy fermented chili paste is a well-known spice in Sichuan cuisine, it is actually widely used in various dishes, such as salad, stew, soup, marinade, and stir-fry. Chili paste is spicy and salty, so be mindful of the amount used when cooking with it, and reduce or eliminate the amount of salt accordingly.

Fresh, tasty
I've made mapo tofu twice with this, and it's been delicious. The peppercorns are mouth-numbingly fresh and fragrant, and the doubanjiang is chunky, salty, spicy, and oily. Price was fair, too.

Leaking package
The seal on the black bean paste jar came already broken. This caused the oil to leak. Will be returning item.

Insufficient shelf life.
I received these items on October 1st. The Best before date is November 29, 2019. As I use the product by the tablespoon in Asian coking I find this totally unacceptable.

Amazing
Let me start by talking about some of these fake negative reviews on here. ignore them. Some complain that this is salty. Well, duh! It's like soy sauce in the sense that this is a spice and cooking agent, not a meal in itself. This is supposed to be salty. If you use it right (usually needs to be bloomed in warm or hot oil before cooked in or mixed into other ingredients), it adds such a wonderful and complex layer of flavor. You'll never need much, so it will last a while.
