Sepen Chilli Oil
When Chef Yeshi was growing up in rural Tibet, his father made the best chilli oil around. Yeshi has turned this recipe into Taste Tibet’s much-loved momo dumpling dip. Our Sepen Chilli Oil is delicious with momos, but you can also use it with just about anything you fancy a kick out of. It is made using peppercorns from Yeshi’s home in Tibet.£8.00VeganTaste Tibet Cookbook - signed by the authors
