Chinese Traditional Fermented Bean Curd — The Secret Behind the Deep Flavour

The deep umami richness of this dipping sauce comes from its key ingredient: fermented bean curd (腐乳, Furu). Furu is a traditional Chinese fermented food with over a thousand years of history, made by slowly ageing tofu with salt and mould cultures (Actinomucor) over weeks to months before being preserved with seasonings. During this process, proteins are broken down into amino acids, producing a rich, complex flavour reminiscent of a well-aged European cheese.

Combined with the bold chili oil of the Sichuan mala tradition, the nuttiness of roasted peanuts, and finely ground sesame paste, every spoonful delivers a multi-layered flavour experience. Just as cheese and wine develop complexity through fermentation, and sauerkraut gains its depth naturally over time, Furu is equally a flavour born of patience and tradition.

Haidilao (海底捞) was founded in Sichuan Province in 1994 and has grown into China's largest hot pot brand. This dipping sauce follows the same authentic recipe proven across its restaurants worldwide, now delivered directly to European homes.

Authentic Chinese Serving Suggestions · Estilo Chino

Discover the many ways Haidilao Spicy Dipping Sauce is enjoyed in Chinese homes — experience the true flavours of authentic Chinese cuisine.

Hot Pot
火锅
The most authentic way to enjoy Chinese hot pot (Huoguo). Lightly cook thinly sliced beef, lamb, vegetables and tofu in boiling broth, then dip generously into this sauce. The spicy chili oil and nutty sesame elevate the flavour of every ingredient to the next level.
Dumplings
饺子
Try this sauce alongside boiled or pan-fried dumplings (Jiaozi) instead of soy sauce. The deep umami of the fermented bean curd and the spicy kick pair fantastically with the mild meat and vegetable fillings inside. A popular pairing in northern Chinese households.
Dim Sum
点心
Use as a dipping sauce alongside Cantonese dim sum — Siu Mai, Har Gow, Cheung Fun — served in a small bowl on the side. If the spice level feels too intense, mix in a little soy sauce or vinegar to gently soften the flavour to your preference.
Mapo Tofu
麻婆豆腐
Add a spoonful of this sauce when making Mapo Tofu, the iconic Sichuan dish, and the depth of flavour transforms entirely. The fermented bean curd base blends naturally with the core flavours of Mapo Tofu, delivering a restaurant-quality mala aroma at home.
Zhajiangmian
炸酱面
When making Zhajiangmian (Chinese noodles with fermented soybean paste), mix a small amount of this sauce into the traditional bean paste for a distinctive noodle dish with added nutty sesame aroma and a spicy kick. Works equally well with cold or warm noodles.
Huiguorou
回锅肉
Use this sauce as a finishing seasoning when stir-frying Huiguorou (Sichuan twice-cooked pork). Stir-fry thinly sliced boiled pork belly with cabbage and spring onions, then add a spoonful at the end for an authentic Sichuan combination of spicy, nutty and fermented flavours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Haidilao Hot Pot Dipping Sauce Spicy and how do I use it?

This product is the official dipping sauce from HAIDILAO, a hot pot specialist brand hugely popular across China and beyond. "Hot pot" (Huoguo) is a traditional Asian communal cooking style where meat, vegetables, tofu and more are cooked directly in a boiling broth at the table — similar in concept to European fondue or raclette. This sauce is used as a dipping sauce for the cooked ingredients, featuring a rich, nutty and spicy flavour profile from sesame paste, peanuts, chive flower sauce and naturally fermented bean curd. Beyond hot pot, it can also be used as a sauce for grilled tofu, vegetable sticks or stir-fried dishes.

Is this product suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians?

Based on the EU export label, this product is made from 100% plant-based ingredients and is suitable for both Vegans and Vegetarians. However, one important note: some versions of this product sold in non-EU markets (such as the US or China domestic market) under the same name have been reported to contain oyster ingredients. The product sold by dotAsia is the EU export specification and uses only plant-based ingredients. Nevertheless, if you follow a strict vegan diet, we recommend checking the ingredient list on the physical product label before purchase.

I have allergies — which allergens does this product contain?

This product (EU export version) contains the following 4 EU mandatory allergens: Peanuts, Soybeans, Mustard, Sesame. Additionally, depending on the manufacturing environment, trace amounts of peanuts, tree nuts, fish, crustaceans, milk and eggs may be present due to cross-contamination. Regarding gluten (wheat) allergy: wheat and gluten are not declared on the EU label, however some market versions have been reported to contain wheat — if you have a wheat allergy, please always check the physical product label. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed above, please avoid consumption.

How spicy is this sauce? Is it suitable for European palates?

This product is rated "Spicy", featuring chili oil layered over a creamy, nutty base of sesame paste and peanuts. While the heat level is on the stronger side, the rich nutty base helps temper the intensity, making it quite different from a sauce that is simply hot. If you are not accustomed to spicy food, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Please also note that this sauce has a high sodium content (approximately 5.4g of salt per 100g, around 270% of the EU daily recommended intake), so using it in small quantities as a dipping sauce is the most appropriate way to enjoy it.

Does this sauce contain fermented ingredients? What is fermented food?

This sauce contains naturally fermented bean curd as one of its key ingredients. Fermented bean curd is made by traditionally ageing and fermenting tofu, using a process similar in principle to how cheese or wine develops deep complexity through maturation. This fermented ingredient contributes a complex, layered umami depth to the overall sauce. Note that this product itself is not classified as a "fermented sauce" — it is a compound seasoning sauce that includes fermented bean curd as one of its components.
