Bilingual Pantry Labels

What's inside

• About 30 labels for decanted staples: Sichuan pepper (red, green, ground), dried chilies, chili flakes, star anise, cassia, bay leaf, black cardamom, fennel, cumin, white pepper, five-spice, tangerine peel, sugars, starches, dried mushrooms, wood ear, glass noodles, dried shrimp, peanuts, sesame, noodles and rice.
• Homemade labels for chili oil, Sichuan pepper oil, sweet aromatic soy, knife-edge chili and stock. Each one prints Made ___ · Refrigerate · Use by ___ (within 4 days) or freeze.
• “Opened ___” tags for bottles, with a check box that reminds you to follow the label on fridge storage.
• Blank labels to write your own, and six shelf strips: Spices · Chilies · Starches · Sugars · Dry goods · Homemade.
• Two styles (a vermilion seal block, or ink on rice paper) in two sizes, plus a plain-paper cut-out version with crop marks.

Who it's for

Cooks who decant their Sichuan pantry and want to find the right jar at a glance, families who like seeing the characters every day, and anyone who keeps homemade oils and needs the date on the jar.

Not for sauces that live in their original bottles. Those already carry their Chinese name; use the “opened” tags instead.
