Pa Lo: Five Spice + Sweet Soy Hot Sauce

About this sauce

Pa Lo is inspired by the Thai dish "moo pa lo", which roughly translates to "braised pork with five spice". The dish is basically a sweetened soy-heavy sauce with a tonne of five spice, and it's typically served with pork belly, hard boiled eggs, and plain rice. Like a lot of Thai dishes it's about the balance of strong flavours! Our hot sauce version takes those strong flavour notes - sweet, salty, aniseed - and pairs them with birds eye chillies, rice vinegar and lime juice for a punchy medium heat sauce. Think of it like a twist on a hoisin sauce! Great with: anything dippable, ricey or noodley. Awarded Champion of the Sauce + Accompaniment category in Taste of the West 2025!
