HOW SPICY IS YOK CHAN'S HOTTER! CHILLI OIL?
The Hotter! version is a lot hotter than our regular version. Definitely one to tread more carefully with. However if you're one of the few that can properly take their chillies, this one is for you.
That said, if you have a constitution that is sensitive to chilli, definitely start off with small amounts at first.
As the saying goes, 'if you have sensitive guts, don't go nuts..'
HOW SHOULD I USE YOK CHAN'S HOTTER! CHILLI OIL?
If your tolerance is so-so, sparingly at first! Though once you're familiar, you can use it however you want!
YCCO is very versatile. We started off using it as a condiment predominantly, putting it on our favourite meals. But soon we found ourselves using it as a base for fried noodles, in marinades, salad dressings, or with other sauces and condiments.
Go-tos for our Hotter! version are making Singapore Fried Noodles pop, or for that intense chilli oil mayo. The list goes on..
IS YOK CHAN'S CHILLI OIL VEGAN AND/OR VEGETARIAN?
Yok Chan's Chilli Oil doesn't use ingredients derived from animals or animal products.
As some ingredients have 'may contain' warnings and YCCO is currently made in a home kitchen, we can't guarantee our product is 100% free from milk products, although great care is taken to control any cross contamination risks.
In regards to labelling, we believe that it's still being debated if products that have precautionary statements such as “may contain milk etc..” can be classed as ‘vegan’.
Even though a few organisations say that products with 'may contain..' items can be classed as vegan, for now we've decided to be as transparent as possible stating our product as plant based alongside the above info, letting the customer decide based on the info provided.
DOES YOK CHAN'S CHILLI OIL CONTAIN MSG?
Yok Chan's Chilli Oil does not contain MSG.
And just for the record, MSG is not as bad as some people might think it is :)
