The other pillar rivaling 'Clear Oil'. Based on 'Niu You' (beef tallow), it is rock-solid at room temperature. Melting it in boiling water explodes intense beef depth and animal sweetness. The thick soup heavily coats ingredients, representing the heavy authentic Sichuan/Chongqing style.

Trivia

It is common sense in China to use 'Clear Oil' for a light, veggie-heavy meal, and 'Beef Tallow' for a heavy meat/offal feast. If you seek deeper richness, absolutely choose the beef tallow version.

Eating tips & etiquette

Caution: do not let the soup cool while eating (the beef tallow will solidify on the surface). Turn your exhaust fan to MAX, as the room will fill entirely with the 'smell of hardcore Chinese food'.
