Poon's WO Sauce

Poon’s WO sauce is a reinvention of traditional Chinese XO sauce, first invented in 1980s Hong Kong and considered one of the most luxurious flavours in Chinese cuisine. Made with salted shrimp and home-dried bacon, WO sauce is made using an old Poon’s family recipe.

Serve WO sauce with steamed fish, simple noodle dishes, grilled meats and egg-fried rice. The deeply earthy, savoury flavour is also fantastic as a dipping sauce – simply loosen with a little soy sauce and rice vinegar.
