This might be my favorite use so far. I added it to a peri peri chicken bowl and it somehow fit right in without competing. That versatility is what keeps impressing me.








MEDIUM HEAT
1 / 9
Built on 100% organic avocado oil, with Filaree Farm garlic from Okanogan County, Washington and Red Boat fish sauce. I cook every batch myself, then label the jars by hand.

Balanced warmth, snackable by the spoonful. Cook with it or use it as a marinade and the heat comes down further.
Organic avocado oil, organic lemongrass, organic Thai chili peppers, organic garlic, dried chile flakes, fish sauce, coriander seed, cinnamon sticks, star anise, black pepper, peppercorns.
Refrigerate after opening. 12 months unopened, 6 months once opened. The oil may firm up in the fridge, which is normal: let the jar sit a few minutes before spooning.
Made to order weekly in Washington State. Each batch is hand-cooked, hand-labeled, and hand-packed, with quality checks at every step. No MSG, no artificial flavor enhancers, no seed oils.

This was so good with bánh xèo. I think the sauce really shines when there is already a lot of texture in the dish and you want something that brings flavor and heat. I would reorder for this use alone.

I know this is not the most traditional use, but it was incredible on sushi bake. The heat was noticeable at first, then mellowed into the whole dish. I ended up scraping the pan clean.

I used it as part of a marinade for chicken satay and it came out so good. The heat lowered a lot during cooking, which I appreciated, and the flavor stayed really full. Super easy to work into dinner.
Ours is built on organic avocado oil. It is the base of every jar, it holds a higher cooking temperature while the lemongrass and garlic bloom, and it carries the heat cleanly instead of coating your mouth.

Not a thin, runny oil, not a heavy, chunky paste. It sits in the middle, so you can scoop it, drizzle it, or toss it through a bowl.
Raw chili oils give you a sharp sting. A 6 hour slow simmer pulls savory aromatics out of the fresh lemongrass and garlic, so the heat builds slowly instead of hitting all at once.
Because the base is organic avocado oil, the saté finishes smooth and buttery rather than leaving the greasy film that seed oil condiments do.
It pairs naturally with ramen, avocado toast, and hot pot, and it is just as good on pepperoni pizza and fried chicken.
Each small batch is jarred right after cooling, which holds the just simmered aroma of hand toasted chilies and fresh aromatics.

Fullest flavor, most heat. Spoon it over the finished dish: phở, noodle bowls, fried chicken, bánh mì.

Half a spoon into the broth, garlic and lemongrass come forward.

The oil clings to the crust instead of sliding off.

A thin layer under the mayo carries heat across the bread.

Softer heat, same aroma. Stir it in early, through fried rice or ramen broth, or use it as a marinade.

Grilled meats, bulgogi wraps, chicken satay. The heat comes down while cooking.

A spoonful through fried rice or stir-fried noodles, before the heat hits the pan.

It melts into the broth and seasons the whole pot rather than one bite.

Still too spicy? Put something creamy next to it: mac and cheese, eggs, or stir it into yogurt or mayo.

The dairy softens the heat and keeps the garlic aroma.

A light drizzle is enough on soft, rich food.

Stir a spoonful into yogurt, mayo, or sour cream for a milder sauce.
Garlic is the ingredient I am fussiest about, so I buy it from Filaree Farm in Okanogan County, Washington: certified organic, grown by people I can call. It gives the saté its aroma and the savory weight underneath the chili.
Then I cook it here, in small batches, made to order weekly, and pack the jars by hand.
Royce, founder, Washington StateAll three bring heat in oil, but they are built differently. Here is where Vietnamese chili saté sits next to the two jars it gets confused with.
| What to compare | Phởzen Chili Saté | Chili crisp | Chili oil |
|---|---|---|---|
| What leads the flavour | Lemongrass, garlic and chili, with fish sauce underneath. Savoury and aromatic. | Fried aromatics, usually garlic or shallot, with chili. Toasty and crunchy. | Chili infused into oil. Mostly heat and chili flavour. |
| Texture | In between: scoopable, not runny, not a thick paste. | Crisp bits suspended in oil. Crunch is the point. | Thin and pourable, little to no solids. |
| Base oil | 100% organic avocado oil. No seed oils. | Commonly soybean, canola or rapeseed oil. | Commonly soybean, canola or another neutral oil. |
| Where the savouriness comes from | Red Boat fish sauce, first press, Phú Quốc. | Often soy sauce, fermented bean paste or MSG. | Often little added, or soy sauce and salt. |
| Gluten | Gluten-free. No soy sauce or bean paste in the jar. | Check the label: soy sauce and bean paste often contain wheat. | Check the label: varies by maker. |
| Best used for | Phở and noodle bowls, marinades, sandwiches, eggs, anything that wants savoury depth as well as heat. | Adding crunch on top of rice, dumplings and noodles. | Dressing dumplings and cold noodles, or finishing a dish with clean heat. |
| Heat style | Medium. Builds slowly from a 6 hour simmer rather than hitting at once. | Varies widely by maker. | Often sharper and more immediate. |
The chili crisp and chili oil columns describe the categories in general. Recipes vary a lot by maker, so check the label on the jar you are buying.

Vietnamese chili saté is a cooked chili condiment built on aromatics: lemongrass, garlic, chili, and fish sauce, simmered in oil. It is spooned over phở, bún bò Huế, and noodle bowls. Ours is Vietnamese-inspired, cooked in Washington on organic avocado oil.
Chili crisp is defined by crunchy fried bits, usually garlic or shallot fried in soybean or canola oil, and organic chili crisp is the same idea with certified organic inputs. Chili oil is mostly infused oil with little texture. Vietnamese saté, sometimes called saté chili oil or vietnamese chili oil, leads with lemongrass, garlic, and fish sauce, so it reads savory and aromatic rather than crunchy.
Not always. Many chili sauces use soy sauce or fermented bean paste, which commonly contain wheat. Ours is gluten-free: the savory depth comes from Red Boat fish sauce, first press, Phú Quốc, which is anchovy and salt.
Alongside the usual hoisin and lime, a spoonful of chili saté stirred into the broth adds garlic and lemongrass depth without muddying it. Start with half a spoon: the heat builds as the broth warms it.
Spread a thin layer of chili saté under the pâté or mayo. The oil carries the heat across the whole sandwich instead of pooling in one bite, and the garlic sits well with pickled carrot and daikon.
