Lee Kum Kee XO Sauce for Seafood, 2.8-Ounce

I have read that XO sauce is the gourmet of Chinese sauces. I have to agree. It's flavor was an excellent addition to my stir fries. It has a unique taste and a little goes a long way. My wife does not like any heat in her food so I add only a teaspoon to a variety of other sauces I may use in a recipe. She said she likes the addition taste so far and did not complain of any heat. Used it with a chicken and vegetables with some hoisen sauce and with a BBQ pork and rice dish I made with scallions, mushrooms, pea pods and soy sauce. I also added it to a pork and cabbage dish.

Love it but it's too expensive for the amount you get.

Seller has 2 options: 2.8oz and 7.8oz. Purchased the 7.8oz and received the 2.8oz. Very deceptive and misleading. Also, you get what you pay for: this stuff is garbage. Not even remotely authentic or even of moderate quality. Lowest of the low.

The Lee Kum Kee XO sauce tastes like XO sauces I've had in good Chinese restaurants and it's a good rendition. It imparts a very rich, deep flavor and can be used in almost any stir fry dish .... and a little bit goes a long way. Can be nice to use when having guests over to dine because they might find the flavor interesting and different, perhaps beguiling, especially if unfamiliar with it. XO sauce has many ingredients in it. To my palate the dried seafood taste stands out in particular. If you've never had it, might be a good idea to taste an XO sauce before ordering so you know what it tastes like.

Great flavor

It wasn't bad but definitely could have used some more salinity. Also extremely oily. I probably would not buy or use this again.

This is perfect on fried rice, noodles, and everything else under the sun. Do not miss out of this sauce. It adds a punch of smoky seafood flavor wherever you go.

I love this sauce with jazmin rice since I was a kid so the quality of this one was excellent, and everthing arrived pretty good.
