BOILING POINT Spicy Garlic Bean Paste — 8.5 oz (Pack of 2), Vegetarian Mala-Style Umami & Crunchy Garlic

This Taiwanese-made spicy garlic bean paste comes in an 8.5 oz jar (pack of 2) and is built for cooks who want immediate depth and numbing warmth without animal products.

How will this paste change my everyday meals?

Just a spoonful adds concentrated savory, spicy, and aromatic notes, so you can transform simple ingredients quickly. The combination of fermented bean depth and crisp garlic means it acts like both a seasoning and a condiment, reducing the need for multiple pantry jars.

Is this suitable for vegetarians and for those avoiding preservatives?

How spicy and flavorful is this for different cooking uses?

• Sliced: a little goes a long way—ideal for finishing sauces and dressings.
• Marinade: combines well with soy, vinegar, and oil for balanced grilling flavors.
• Table condiment: let guests add more heat and umami to their plates.
