XO Sauce was invented in the 1980s in Hong Kong and is made from dried scallops, dried shrimp, Jinhua ham, chilli, shallots and garlic. Dried seafood and Jinhua ham are considered extremely luxurious and extravagant ingredients in Chinese cooking. The name alludes to the lofty and expensive status associated with XO cognac at the time. Dried scallops are not available in the UK now.
Reworking this classic condiment to make it our own, we replaced Jinhua ham with Poon’s Wind Dried Bacon, which we have been producing in the UK since 1970 to an old family recipe.
Affectionately known as “Woooooh Sauce” in the kitchen and with the chefs who have used it, try it on buttered bagels, fried eggs, fried rice, plain rice, noodles, pizza and sausage rolls...
"Packed with flavour... salt and sweet balance from the shrimps... delights in its sweet, salt, tangy, and warm balance”
(Great Taste Awards)
About Poon’s London
Award-winning, signature sauces from a Chinese heritage food brand. Bill Poon established the first Poon’s Restaurant in 1973 in Lisle Street, London and became the first Chinese chef to be awarded a Michelin star. Building on this gastronomic legacy, Poon’s London launched its sauce range in 2022 to widespread critical acclaim.
“Chinese food can be surprisingly simple, and you don’t necessarily need fancy kit to cook it at home. It is so much more than nourishment for the body and sensations for the mouth, it is culturally an expression of love.”
