A bold, heritage-rich sauce born from the southern Chinese Hakka tradition — where the aromatic spices of the land meet the deep umami of the sea. 🌶️🌊

Rooted in the southern coastal regions of China, where the Hakka people settled after generations of migration, this sauce brings together the warmth of inland spices and the depth of dried seafood — a true reflection of Hakka resilience and culinary ingenuity. 🧭🦐

Unlike its sweeter Southeast Asian cousin, Hakka-style satay is deeply savoury, aromatic, and smoky. Built on a base of dried shrimp, garlic, shallots, and roasted spices, it carries the comfort of something home-cooked, and the intensity of something passed down. 🧄🐟🔥

Traditionally used to stir-fry thin slices of meat or as a hotpot dipping sauce, this bold, seafood-forward paste has become a pantry essential in countless southern Chinese homes. 🥜✨

We’ve bottled that essence in our Hakka Satay Paste — just one spoonful brings the flavour of smoky street stalls and Sunday family dinners straight to your kitchen.

Rich. Fragrant. Unforgettable.Perfectly portioned for two.

Keep one in your fridge — your shortcut to bold, nostalgic flavour, anytime.

The Tangy Soul of Southeast Asia 🌿🍋🔥 

Tom Yum is more than just a soup — it’s a cultural crossroads in a bowl. Originating from central Thailand and carried through Laos and the misty hills of Southern Yunnan, this iconic dish captures the tropical soul of Southeast Asia: bright, zesty, and unapologetically bold.🌶️🍤🌿

At the heart of every great Tom Yum lies its paste — a punchy blend of lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, fresh chillies, and shrimp paste, all simmered and pounded to perfection. It’s this paste that brings the signature hot-sour fragrance, awakening your senses before you even take the first bite. 🌶️🍤🌿

At WowzaBox, we honour this tradition by crafting our Tom Yum Paste in small batches using authentic ingredients. Designed to serve two, it’s perfect for creating a quick seafood soup, a fragrant noodle broth, or even as a base for your own twist on a Thai hot pot.

Just add prawns, mushrooms, or your favourite veg — and let the tropical tang and umami-rich depth transport you straight to a night market in Bangkok.

Portioned for two. Keep one in your fridge - Ready when you are. 

A bold, heritage-rich flavour from China’s mountainous heartland ⛰️.

In the remote hills of Guizhou [pronounced gway-jow], salt is naturally scarce. But that didn’t stop the locals. To bring flavour to their food, the people of Guizhou developed ingenious fermentation techniques—creating rich, tangy bases that don’t rely on salt.

Their most iconic creation? Red sour stock — a punchy base made from cherry tomatoes, chillies, garlic, ginger, aromatic spices, and a splash of traditional Chinese baijiu. Aged slowly until deeply fragrant and mouth-wateringly sharp.

At WowzaBox, we stay true to this tradition.

Our Home-Aged Hot & Sour Base 🍅🍶🌶️ is fermented for over 3 months, developing a rich, layered flavour that’s hard to find elsewhere in the UK
