Youki Tobanjan (Doubanjiang)

Youki's Sichuan Doubanjiang (or Shisen Tobanjan) is a Japanese Szechuan-style hot chili bean sauce that adds rich umami flavor and spiciness to your dishes. Made with chili peppers and fermented broad beans, tobanjan is a multipurpose sauce often used in mapo tofu recipes, or simply added into noodle soups to add a healthy, warming spice. A small dab also adds a ton of deep chili flavor.
