Rich. Fragrant. Unforgettable. Perfectly portioned for two.
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
“Deep, tangy, and unlike anything I’ve tasted before!” — Customer review
Use it to cook fish, seafood, tofu, or veg stews, or even make a Guizhou-style hot pot. Each pack serves 2 and is perfect with steamed rice.
At the heart of Sichuan cuisine lies Doubanjiang 🏺— the legendary fermented chilli and broad bean paste, aged slowly in clay jars under the sun 🌞. This time-honoured craft produces a deep, savoury flavour packed with umami, warmth, and complexity — the very soul of Sichuan stir-fries.
To bring this classic to life, WowzaBox blends premium 3-year aged Doubanjiang from Pixian — a historic county just outside Chengdu, where this iconic paste has been fermented for hundreds of years — with the numbing kick of Sichuan peppercorns and over a dozen hand-picked spices. 🌶️🧄🧅✨
Just a spoonful takes your stir-fries to the next level✨. Ideal with juicy, seared pork or beef, tossed with leeks, spring onions and fresh chillies — the perfect shortcut to restaurant-quality flavour at home.
One jar serves up to 4 portions.
Keep a jar in your fridge — it’s your flavour-packed shortcut to weeknight greatness.
🔥 A street food classic, reimagined.

Whether used as a marinade, brushed over grilled meats, or served as a dipping sauce on the side—it’s the ultimate flavour upgrade for any BBQ or stir-fry.
