Lee Kum Kee XO Sauce 220g

XO Sauce

Lee Kum Kee XO Sauce 220g is a rich, savoury Chinese condiment that packs an incredible amount of flavour into every spoonful. Made with premium dried seafood, chilli and aromatic seasonings, this luxurious sauce is renowned for its deep umami taste, gentle warmth and satisfyingly chunky texture. Originally created in Hong Kong, XO sauce has become a favourite for adding instant depth and complexity to everyday cooking.

A little goes a long way. Stir it through noodles or fried rice, spoon it over steamed vegetables, toss it with seafood or use it as a finishing sauce for dumplings and bao buns. It also makes an excellent base for stir-fries, marinades and dipping sauces, bringing restaurant-style flavour together in minutes.

At i4C, XO sauce is one of those ingredients that completely changes the way you cook. Once you've discovered how much flavour a single spoonful adds, it quickly becomes the first thing you reach for whenever a dish feels like it's missing something.

Why is XO sauce considered a premium condiment?

XO sauce is made with high-quality ingredients including dried scallops and dried shrimp, all of which contribute layers of savoury flavour. These premium ingredients are what give the sauce its distinctive richness and reputation.

Why is it called XO sauce?

The name doesn't refer to any actual XO cognac. Instead, "XO" was chosen to suggest luxury and quality, borrowing the term from premium spirits to reflect the sauce's rich ingredients and indulgent flavour.

How much XO sauce should I use in a recipe?

XO sauce is highly concentrated, so a teaspoon or two is often enough to transform an entire dish. It's best added towards the end of cooking or stirred through just before serving to preserve its texture and layered flavour.
