Rub it on pork, duck, or chicken before roasting, add a pinch to braises and marinades, or season tea eggs and stir-fries. Use sparingly because the flavor is strong.

The aroma of the stew is very rich! There are five in a pack, but the packaging cannot be re-sealed. After opening the pack, I have to pack it in my own bag. I feel that it is more cost-effective than the tea egg stew packs that cost more per pack at Hema.

This Sichuan-flavored seasoning packet smells delicious as soon as you hold it in your hand. It must be good.
