With the temperature dropping and autumn approaching, it's the perfect time to bring the umami and spicy flavours into your cooking and this chilli oil does both! It's fair to say that Lee Kum Kee are a brand leader when it comes to Asian condiments, with their products used everywhere from household kitchens to major restaurants. One particularly famous product they use is this oil and honestly from the minute you taste it you'll see why. The addition of soy sauce into this is a stroke of genius as it adds a deliciously savoury hit which balances excellently with the heat from the chillis. Speaking of the heat, this is a spicy chilli oil make no mistake, but it's also the best we've ever tasted. First up on your taste-buds is a rich savoury hit, followed by a gorgeous wash of chilli flavour. As well as being delicious, it's really versatile, it can be used in everything from salads to sauces and even on toast! It's available for £3 at most major supermarkets so go and get some to warm up those autumn nights.
