Great flavor, wish it was spicier
The taste is fantastic, really complex with the different notes coming through. For a 'spicy' chili sauce, though, I was hoping for a bit more heat. It's more of a mild warmth than a true kick.
Our most requested product: the jumbo size of our fan-favorite Sweet + Spicy Sichuan Chili Sauce. Inspired by the popular, classic Chengdu street snack Zhong Dumplings, Sweet + Spicy Sichuan Chili Sauce is a concoction of aromatic "fuzhi" soy sauce, slow-brewed with brown sugar, mushrooms, garlic, and a blend of spices. It’s sweet, tangy, spicy, and umami-rich all at once — intensely delicious and versatile. • 16oz. crafted in Chengdu, Sichuan. • Vegan, no artificial flavors, and no preservatives.

The flavor is incredibly complex and delicious.
Love the flavor profile, but it's a bit on the expensive side.
I found this sauce to be overwhelmingly sweet, almost like a dessert topping, which wasn't what I was expecting from a chili sauce. The spice was barely noticeable beneath all the sugar. It just didn't work for my palate.
This is definitely my go-to for adding a quick burst of flavor. The combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy is so addictive. It’s excellent on fried rice and as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.
