I used it to make mala dry pot! The sauce it self smells sweeter than it tastes, I had to use a lot more than I thought to get the spice level I wanted it to be, definitely had to add oyster sauce and fish sauce to give it more depth. Overall will cook with it again and it is very convenient!

There are two packages of oil and the flavor is great. I like to save some of the leftover oil and use to fry tofu or meat for a second meal too. This is not the healthiest food so I add lots of veggies to balance it out a bit haha.
