'Extraordinary' Chilli Oil by Poon's 125g - Black Bean
Chilli Oil
Brand: Poon's London
An aromatic chilli oil infused with the intense
flavours of salted black beans. It's unusual in that it uses salted
black beans which gives the oil a real depth and intensity beyond
just heat. Use as you would any chilli oil. Simply stirred through
some thick wheat noodles, wet still from the noodle water, it's the
Chinese version of spaghetti aglio e olio. Developed by Masterchef
Bill Poon, bringing exceptional Chinese pantry essentials to your
kitchen. About the Producer An evolving family run food business,
revived by Amy Poon - daughter of chef patron Bill Poon who founded
Poon's in 1970 and in 1980 was the first Chinese chef to be awarded
a Michelin star. Our family culinary history runs deep. My father
comes from a long line of chefs. Somewhere in the long distant past
is a many times great grandfather who was chef to an emperor.
Another many times great grandfather effectively invented the stock
cube. Disappointed by the quality of Chinese food in England at the
time, my parents opened the first Poon’s Restaurant in 1973 in
Lisle Street, Chinatown. Three years later they opened the iconic
Poon’s of Covent Garden at 41 King Street. The great and the good
dined there – from Mick Jagger to Barbara Streisand. In 1980 my
father was awarded a Michelin Star. I have worked in all my
parents’ restaurants and swore I would never go into the business,
but what chance does one stand against kismet? So, I bring you my
Chinese kitchen from the depths of my heart and my family’s
hearth.
