First impressions
Mami Tran Lemongrass Chili Oil currently sits at B tier on our live tier list with tasting notes: smooth, mild, cooking oil. We're finishing our full side-by-side notes — the scores and flavor profile here are from our initial tastings, and the complete review is coming soon.
In the meantime: it's best on cooking base, marinades, pho , and you might skip it if you want a finishing condiment — this behaves more like a flavored cooking oil.
