MALA BUTTER
Containing the mildly numbing Sichuan peppercorn for an addictive spice kick, this spread is great as a pairing with deepfried lotus chips, flavouring for nuts, and glaze for roast beef.
RED WINE BUTTER
This fruity butter, infused with Merlot, Malbec or Shiraz, is a meat-lover’s favourite. Pan-sear it with steak, grill it with lamb, slather it on chicken wings, or smear it on cheese and crackers for easy finger food.
MENTAIKO BUTTER
This pollack fish roe-infused butter is a big hit, and some of the ideas for its use came directly from avid fans. Try basting it on salmon for baking, stir-frying with squid, and even tossing in hot cooked Japanese rice for a quick snack.
MATCHA BUTTER
The only sweet butter in Shaun’s line-up, the matcha butter is recommended for smearing on doughnuts, incorporating into cookie dough for baking cookies, or infusing into cream to make a sauce.
JAPANESE CURRY BUTTER
The unmistakable aroma of Japanese curry makes this a winner with breaded white fish and even white wine mussels – just use the beurre monte (whisk cold butter with the warm sauce when it’s off the heat) technique to achieve a satiny sheen and velvety texture.
