What exactly is XO sauce?
It’s a popular Hong Kong condiment used in Cantonese cuisine as a flavor enhancer where the base is made up of a variety of dried seafoods and cured ham. It lends its name XO (extra old) from the cognac, not that it contains any cognac, but the term XO is often used as a reference to being high quality, or luxurious.
XO sauce is a flavor enhancement, or I like to call it an umami explosion of flavor. It has a combination of sweet savory and a little kick of heat. I’m often asked how XO sauce is used and my immediate answer is you can simply eat it over steamed rice, noodles, or use it as part of a dipping sauce for dumplings or hotpot. You can use it to make stir fry, the options are endless.
My XO sauce contains 10 ingredients. It’s loaded with dried scallops and dried shrimps. It also has a smoky flavor from cured ham. Other ingredients included fresh chili, fresh garlic, shallots, chicken bullion, oyster sauce and vegetable oil.
