If you love adding chilli to your food, you will most certainly love this easy but very tasty XO Chilli Sauce recipe.

WELL, if you love heat...you have come to the right place. This is not a completely authentic XO sauce, but it certainly packs a punch. It will keep for ages in the fridge, largely because of the heat in it and as long as you use hot sterilised jars to pour the hot (as in ‘temperature' hot) sauce into...they will vacuum seal and there will be no issues. Splash it around at a BBQ, use it to marinate meats, use it as a condiment or an addition to mayonnaise, dressings or sauces...at your own peril. Yes, you have been warned. This stuff is HOT!

Here are some delicious ways to use Thermomix XO chilli sauce in food:

Stir-Fry Base – Add a spoonful to vegetable, meat, or seafood stir-fries for an instant flavor boost.

Noodle Topping – Drizzle over noodles, such as stir-fried noodles, ramen, or udon, for added spice and umami.

Fried Rice – Mix into fried rice for a quick and easy way to enhance flavor.

Marinade – Use as a marinade for prawns, chicken, pork, or tofu before grilling or roasting.

Dim Sum Dip – Serve as a dipping sauce for dumplings, spring rolls, or potstickers.

Soup Enhancer – Stir a spoonful into soups, like hot and sour soup or wonton soup, to deepen the flavor.

Pizza Sauce Base – Use a thin layer as a base for a spicy pizza, especially with toppings like prawns, chicken, or mushrooms.

Seafood Glaze – Brush over grilled prawns, scallops, or fish fillets for a spicy, savoury glaze.

Eggs – Drizzle over scrambled eggs, omelets, or fried eggs for a kick of spice in the morning.

Sandwich Spread – Spread on sandwiches, burgers, or wraps for a fiery twist, particularly with grilled meats or vegetables.

Rice Bowl Garnish – Add a dollop to rice bowls or poke bowls for extra umami and heat.

Roast Vegetables – Toss roasted vegetables with a spoonful of XO sauce for a flavourful finish.

Barbecue Sauce – Mix with soy sauce for a unique BBQ glaze on ribs or chicken wings.

Pasta Sauce – Stir through pasta dishes, like a seafood spaghetti, for a spicy Asian-inspired twist.
