Over the years we’ve created a specialised sauce range designed for cooking classic Chinese dishes and fusion recipes from scratch. Based on select ingredient pastes and oils, our 8 essential sauces cover everything from black bean to teriyaki flavours, plus they’re all suitable for vegans.
Char Siu Sauce
Considered by many as the best, our Char Siu Sauce is the secret to the authentic Chinese barbeque pork A.K.A “Char Siu.” With its honey-sweet flavour, it’s a perfect marinade for meat that’s going to be barbequed, grilled or roasted. Ideal for summer suppers, we love using it in our ‘Grilled Lamb Skewers in Char Siu Sauce’ recipe.
Hoisin Sauce
Made from a balanced blend of spices and ground soybeans, Hoisin Sauce is a sweet-savoury ingredient commonly used in Asian food. Our favourite way to champion this sauce is in our ‘Plum & Ginger Pork Belly’ recipe – they are packed full of flavour, completely irresistible and fun to eat… what’s not to love?! Find out all about this versatile sauce in our Hoisin Sauce feature blog.
Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki Sauce has a sweet and tangy flavour which delivers a big hit of salty umami thanks to the soy sauce base. Our Teriyaki Sauce has a rich tasting blend of quality soy sauce and good selection of spices. It's afuss-free option when recreating your favourite Teriyaki dishes from Japanese restaurants,and it tastes even better in our ‘Baked Salmon Parcels’ recipe.
