Poons WO Sauce 130g

A deeply savoury, umami-rich condiment inspired by the legendary Hong Kong XO sauce. Made with salted shrimp, Poon’s own wind-dried bacon, garlic, onion and chilli, this intensely flavourful sauce adds instant depth to everything from fried eggs and noodles to pasta, pizza and stir-fries.

What is WO Sauce?

WO Sauce is Poon's interpretation of the famous Cantonese XO sauce, a luxury condiment traditionally made with dried seafood, cured meats and chilli.

Unable to source dried scallops in the UK, the Poon family created their own version using:

  • Salted shrimp
  • Their signature wind-dried bacon
  • Aromatic garlic and onion
  • Chilli flakes and red pepper

The result is a rich, savoury condiment with layers of sweetness, saltiness, gentle heat and intense umami.

The name WO Sauce is a playful nod to XO Sauce—"W is almost X"—and it has since become a cult favourite among chefs and food lovers.
