What Great Taste judges said:

"This delighted and impressed us instantly with its deep flavours and extremely well-balanced heat. We kept going back for more and more."

 

Why this paste earned triple stars:

⭐️ Award-winning complexity - Deep umami from authentic salted black beans
🌶️ Scotch bonnet sophistication - Extra hot with fruity complexity, not just burn
🥩 Professional results - Transform home cooking into restaurant-quality dishes
🌱 Vegan powerhouse - Plant-based ingredients delivering serious flavour impact

 

The black bean difference:

While most chilli pastes rely on heat alone, ours builds on a foundation of fermented black beans - the secret ingredient that gives authentic Asian cuisine its addictive depth. Combined with scotch bonnets, it creates layers of flavour that develop as you taste.

 

Where this paste transforms everything:

Marinades that actually work:

• Beef & lamb - Coat 30 minutes before grilling for restaurant-quality char and flavour
• Chicken wings - The secret weapon for sticky, complex heat
• Fish & shellfish - Brings Asian authenticity to your seafood
• Vegetables - Turn simple roasted veg into the star of the plate

Cooking applications:

• Stir-fries - One spoonful creates authentic wok hei flavour
• Pasta sauces - Transform tomato-based sauces with umami depth
• Stews & braises - Add complexity that slow-cooks into perfection
• Noodle soups - The missing ingredient your broths have been craving

Heat level mastery:

This isn't just "extra hot" - it's intelligently hot. The scotch bonnets provide building heat with fruity complexity, while the black beans create a savoury foundation that makes the heat addictive rather than punishing.

Pro chef techniques:

• Marinade timing - 30 minutes minimum, 4 hours maximum for proteins
• Layered cooking - Add early for depth, finish with more for fresh heat
• Balance point - Start with 1 teaspoon per serving, build from there
• Storage hack - Keeps 6 weeks refrigerated - make extra everything

 

Perfect for:

• Serious home cooks wanting restaurant results
• Heat lovers who appreciate complexity over just fire
• Asian cuisine enthusiasts seeking authentic flavours
• Grill masters looking for their secret weapon
