For this recipe I used Holy Duck Chili Oil but another great alternative is the Okazu Spicy Chili Miso It is hands down one of my favourite chili oils and its made locally in Vancouver in small batches. I use this chili oil in everything.
I adore the rich umami that comes from the duck fat and the chili definitely packs a good punch. This chili oil is also fantastic on bread – check out my Chili Oil and Garlic Focaccia recipe here.
Holy Duck chili oil is made from 100% all natural ingredients. It uses Canadian rendered duck fat and a unique blend of chilies, garlic, shallot and Sichuan peppercorns. It is the brainchild of Chris and Lou, recent Hong Kong transplants to Vancouver who started their journey to create this amazing chili oil 2 years ago. You can feel their love and passion in every jar that they make – follow their amazing journey on their Instagram.
