Wadaman Rayu (Chili Sesame Oil)

90 gram bottle - Japan

What sets this rayu apart is its simplicity and balance. It's made with only two ingredients, organic sesame oil and organic chili peppers, delivering clean, balanced heat with a nutty aroma. 

While the flavor of most rayu is dominated by spiciness, Wadaman's strikes a balance between rich sesame flavor and the bold heat from the chili peppers. The result is a golden red condiment packed with deep, but not overwhelming, heat.

Rayu is a Japanese chili oil, adapted from the Chinese la-yu tradition. Traditional rayu is mostly smooth oil with minimal solids — sesame oil infused with dried chili, sometimes garlic and ginger — and it functions more as a seasoning than a topping. 

Add a splash to add a kick to ramen, eggs, roasted veggies, and dumpling sauce. It also works well drizzled over noodles, tofu, or stir-fries.
