"Homemade Chinese Chili Paste: The Ultimate Taste Enhancer for Noodles and Nasi Goreng"

Meet the best Chinese style Chilli paste - Hardly any oil in this but best in flavours!

You won't believe how I minimize the oil used in this recipe; instead of deep frying all the ingredients as everyone usually does,  I stir-fried!

Surprisingly,  the taste was supreme, despite not being drenched in oil like many available brands on the shop shelves. Taste this once and you will never buy any supermarket brands.  Make a large batch of this, fill it in a glass bottle and store it in the fridge. It will sit in the fridge fresh and aromatic for about a month.

Just a spoonful of this delicious chilli paste in noodles or in Nasi Goreng could completely take them to the next level!
