Malaysia’s Tean’s Gourmet turns dried shrimp and chilli into something you will want to spoon over everything. Coarse chilli, garlic and shallot are slow-fried in soybean oil until fragrant, then layered with plenty of dried shrimp for a deep, savoury hit of the sea. The texture is what makes it: crunchy shrimp and shallot suspended in glossy, ruby-red oil. Ready to serve straight from the jar. Spoon it over steamed rice, congee, noodles or a fried egg, stir it through wonton noodles, or use it to finish steamed fish and blanched greens. One spoon, instant umami. The 160g jar is an easy size to try before moving up to the large one.
