Flipping love this stuff all the tingles on your tounge

I decided to buy it for the Sichuan numbing feeling but there ended up being a spice in it that I just do not like. I used 2 tsps for a pound of noodles and it was a decent heat level, I would've added more to make it more spicy but I just didn't like the flavor but I'm also the type of person who doesn't like any herbs besides cilantro so it's mostly just a personal flavor opinion. But I did like the packaging and felt like it was worth the money to try it. My brother loves it, just personally not my thing.

I'm loving having this as a dipping sauce for my dumplings. Because of food and histamine intolerances, I am not able to have soy based sauce or other chili sauces. I am very glad to have found this condiment that I can actually have.

really mushy and tastes nothing like ginger or scallion. wondering if i got a bad bottle.

I had been looking everywhere for a Sichuan ma-la hot paste and was excited to find this. Unfortunately, this paste taste more like an Indian curry paste and not like a Chinese ma-la paste. I needed this paste for Chinese dishes. It's definitely a delicious paste, but I'll use it for Indian dishes instead of Chinese.

Extremely tasty mala heat. Tried 1.5 teaspoons over a medium size bowl of noodles with some trimmings. Been about 5 minutes since I finished my meal and my lips are still numb. I've got a bit of a sweat going on. This is delicious and perfectly numbing. A little pricey having to buy it online (wish my local asian market stocked it), so only 4/5 stars on value for money. 5/5 stars for flavor and versatility (I can tell this is going to be going in a lot more than noodle dishes).
