Use it everywhere!

House of Dumplings Chilli Oil is an easy way to spice up your soup, pasta, rice or noodles - even your scrambled egg or on toast! Use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings or bread, or take humble tofu to dizzying new heights with a drizzle of this flavour-packed oil.

Turn cucumbers into an addictive and refreshing side dish - dice and smash cucumbers and combine them with a mixture of tahini, soy sauce and chilli oil.

Add it to your salad dressing or marinade or try as an alternative to hummus for dipping crudités - mixed raw vegetables such as fresh carrots, cucumbers, capsicum or cauliflower.

Use Chilli Oil to roast or fry to add an extra kick and depth of flavour.

It's the good stuff

House of Dumplings Chilli Oil is handmade in Wellington with quality and sustainable ingredients. Completely vegan and plant based with no MSG or flavour enhancers added, it's 100% natural with no nasty additives.

It's made with The Good Oil, a refined rapeseed oil grown and cold-pressed in Canterbury which means no heat or chemicals are used during the oil extraction process.

In 2022, House of Dumplings took home four Inspire+ NZ Gold Artisan Awards for their Chilli Oil, Hot Chilli Oil, Garlic Chilli Oil and their King Salmon Dumplings.

On the Scoville scale

The Scoville scale is a measure of pungency - spiciness or heat - of chilli peppers based on the concentration of capsaicinoids. House of Dumplings Chilli Oil measures around 20,000 - 30,000 Scoville units.

‍

Go next level

Try the original Chilli Oil's hotter friend, Hot Chilli Oil with Hot Pepper which measure 50,000 - 70,000 Scoville units and is not for the faint-hearted! With a mixture of three peppers including bird's eye chilli and black pepper, the heat comes fast but disappears quickly.

A little goes a long way - add it to anything that needs oompf!

If hot's not your thing ...

House of Dumplings also offers a gentle version of the original Chilli Oil, mild and tangy with an amazing roasted garlic flavour - your saviour when you can't be bothered chopping garlic.

About House of Dumplings

House of Dumplings was started by the enigmatic Vicky Ha, a Hong Kong New Zealander living in Wellington. During her hears working as a Chef, Vicky would invite her Chef mates over for dinner and make her Mum's dumplings. With nothing similar on the market, her friends would later convince her to start making them commercially.

Vicky attributes the quality of her food to her mother and our natural New Zealand environment. Many vegetable and cooking oils in shops are available only as a result of mass deforestation, habitual destruction and chemical pollution of the surrounding soil and water, so House of Dumplings is proud to make products that are ethically produced.

House of Dumplings products won the Frozen Category at the NZ Artisan Food Awards in 2020, and the overall Supreme Award in 2021. They were also finalists in the Logistics & Trade category of the Wellington Regional Business Excellence Awards.

Come by and say hi to Vicky and add her fantastic creations to your menu!
