Gift Guide 2020: Hot Stuff
If you have urban friends now living in rural areas, chances are they're really missing the joy of eating in Chinese restaurants.
They're probably muddling along, doing their best to recreate their favorite dishes. And they could probably use some help.
Here are two of my favorite resources. Mala Market has a wide range of Sichuan products - and they've put together a really wonderful complete Sichuan pantry kit. Any hot food fan would be thrilled to receive it.
If you're looking for something more modest, Fly By Jing makes a superb group of sauces. Their Chili Crisp is a long time favorite - but they too offer a wide range of fabulous products.
