MeiMei Umami oil, 250 ml

Rapeseed oil infused with natural flavours of coriander, spring onion, ginger, and aromatic spices

On the morning streets of Shanghai, a simple bowl of noodles was often served with fragrant spring onion oil (葱油) and soy sauce — where just oil, onion, and noodles could transform the everyday into something magical.

My grandfather loved telling a story about how he once traded a bowl of spring onion noodles in exchange for being taught how to solve a difficult maths problem. That story stayed with me. Later, when I started school, I swear I could sometimes catch the scent of spring onion oil drifting through the classroom during maths lessons.

With MeiMei Umami Oil, we take that idea one step further - a refined rapeseed oil where onion, coriander, ginger, and aromatic spices play the same role as spring onion in classic Chinese dishes. Just a few drops are enough to elevate pasta, rice, noodles, dumplings, or vegetables into a truly memorable flavour experience.

Your imagination sets the limits!
