Infused Oils

Aromatic oils infused with herbs, spices, and aromatics that add depth and flavor to your cooking. These oils are essential ingredients in Chinese and Asian cuisine, bringing complex flavors to stir-fries, dressings, and finishing touches.

About Infused Oils

Infused oils are a cornerstone of Chinese vegetarian cooking, providing layers of flavor that enhance vegetables and grains. By gently heating oil with aromatics like scallions, ginger, or garlic, the essential oils and flavors are released and captured, creating a versatile ingredient that can be used for stir-frying, drizzling, or as a base for sauces.

Unlike raw oils, infused oils carry the essence of their flavoring ingredients, adding aromatic complexity without the need for additional cooking steps. They're prepared in advance and stored for convenience, making them perfect for quick weeknight meals or elaborate feast preparations.
