THE STORY
Kmao started as an idea in a dim sum restaurant in LA’s Chinatown. The thought came to us that food deserves better than the bland chili oil being served at the table . There needed to be a chili oil out there that was both flavorful and spicy. And so it began. We brainstormed what flavor profiles a chili oil needed to have and what ingredients would give us those characteristics. Toasted chili peppers gives off notes of smoke. Roasted garlic gives it sweetness and earth. Fish sauce is where the savory and umami profile comes from.
THE HOW
Kmao should be eaten with your chinese take out when it's movie night. It should be added to your hot Ramen when you're feeling under the weather. It can be mixed with ranch and eaten with wings when your favorite team is playing. Kmao likes to be invited to family barbequeswhere it has a chance to mingle with BBQ sauce and talk about pork, beef, and chicken.

The Story
Chruk is a recipe our family wanted to share with the world. It's simple. Make a sweet brine. Find the hottest pepper you can get your hands on. Pickle it. Wait. Wait some more. Finally, eat it with anything you want. Chruk isn't the spiciest thing in the world, but it's spicy enough to do some damage. Created with pain and flavor in mind, the sweetness calms the spice down, so it's bareable.
What to put it on?
Chruk should be in every banhmi sandwich you eat. It considers carne asada tacos it's second home. Are you a BBQ lover? So is Chruk. Don't forget to include some Chruk at your next PIzza party or tailgate event.

The Story
When our chef was trying to get as much flavor, and freshness out of a green jalapeno, and cram it into a bottle, the end result was Baithong. With so much flavor and the perfect amount of heat, Baithong will be your new favorite hot sauce.
What to put it on?
Baithong should be smothered all over grilled chicken at the next Sunday grill-out. It makes a great glaze for an oven searedsalmon when you need something quick and easy. It can be used as a salsa verde with bulgogi tacos if you love creating fusion street food. It's amazing on fresh raw oysters with chopped cilantro and a touch of lemon juice. Call it "Green Ketchup" and put it on your favorite fried chicken nuggets.
