White Mausu

White Mausu is a small-batch condiment brand born on the market stalls of Dublin and built by chefs Katie and Jasper. Rooted in a deep love of Asian flavour, their range of crispy chilli oils and rāyu has grown from a cult favourite into a genuine store-cupboard staple — the kind of jar you reach for every single day.

Each product is crafted with the precision of trained chefs: layered heat, umami depth, and textural contrast in every spoonful. Whether you're spooning Peanut Rāyu over soft-boiled eggs, drizzling Smoky Chilli Oil into a noodle bowl, or stirring Black Bean Rāyu through a dressing, White Mausu turns the everyday into something worth eating.

FAQs

What makes White Mausu different from other chilli oils?

White Mausu is founded by chefs, and it shows. Every product is built around layered flavour — not just heat. Ingredients like gochugaru, star anise, fermented black beans, and roasted peanuts are chosen for complexity and balance, resulting in condiments that work as finishing oils, cooking bases, and everything in between.

What is rāyu?

Rāyu is a Japanese-style chilli oil, typically made with sesame oil and aromatic spices. White Mausu's take adds their own twist — most notably the Peanut Rāyu, which blends roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, crispy garlic, gochugaru, agave, and tamari into a crunchy, savoury condiment unlike anything else on the shelf.

How do I use White Mausu products?

These condiments are designed for everyday cooking. Spoon over eggs, avocado toast, or rice bowls. Drizzle onto noodles, dumplings, or pizza. Stir into salad dressings, marinades, or dipping sauces. Essentially — if it needs a flavour lift, White Mausu belongs on it.

Are White Mausu products suitable for vegans?

The Peanut Rāyu uses agave and tamari rather than honey or fish sauce, making it suitable for vegans. Please check the individual product labels for full allergen and dietary information, as formulations may vary across the range.

Which White Mausu product should I try first?

Start with the Peanut Rāyu — it's the product that put White Mausu on the map and remains their most iconic jar. From there, the Smoky Chilli Oil is perfect if you want deeper heat with chipotle and spice, while the Black Bean Rāyu is the go-to for umami lovers.
