Fall seasonal: Kraken Sauce
Our latest seasonal chili crisp has the most delightfully aromatic olive oil infused garlic chives and locally-grown poblano and jalapeño chiles. The foraged kombu, nori, and sesame get jiggy with the other power players (garlic, dill, cardamom, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, fennel…. etc....) to make this a one-of-a-kind chili crisp with strong furikake vibes.
We made this sauce for seafood hounds (us) so it’ll taste good on literally anything that comes out of the ocean. But it’s still a vegan product, and will taste AH-mazing on any rice dish or honestly, just alone with a warm crusty piece of sourdough.
Welcome to our house of sauce.
Big Spoon Sauce Co. is a husband-and-wife operation based in the coastal redwoods of Sonoma County, California. This chili crisp project was born from an obsession with Sichuan flavors, and has since grown into a celebration of both Chinese and California cuisines.
Big Spoon uses ingredients that are locally sourced when available, and our inspirations are always global in nature. Every Big Spoon sauce is vegan, gluten-free, and downright badass.
We recommend enjoying our products with eggs, sandwiches, noodles, tacos, dumplings, pizza, burritos, avocado toast, soups, marinades, friends, foes, neighbors, strangers, or simply spooning straight to face.

from 82 reviewsI love the green Gems!
It really makes boring streamed vegetables taste
So yummy!
This is beyond addicting for the spice lover. It has a wonderful kick AND amazing flavor (as you know, some spicy is just that, hot, without any real flavor -- this has both!!!!!) We have to assign members of the house their own jar, otherwise there can be... issues!
This is now a standard in the house. The flavor is amazing, and everyone can handle this level of spice (obviously for the spice challenged this will be as hot as they can handle) but they love it in moderation. When we run out of Dragon's Booty, this still give us a wonderful add to our foodz.
This is a favorite in our household. Love the flavor! Is good for those with (or a want) for a tiny spicy level. This is a staple.
We have to pace ourselves not to finish the large container in a week! It's perfect for everything.
Always excellent!
Made with super high quality ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, and tastes so incredible. While there are some chili oils out on the market, none come close to Big Spoon's peanut chili crisp in taste or ingredients. I crave it when we run out!
Have ordered multiple chili crisps, but we ran out, so figured it was time to join the club! Shipping was fast and the seasonal crisps did not disappoint! Lani and Nate are quick to communicate and shipped fast. Hopefully someday I'll make it out to see them at the source!
I bought this because I'm a Big Spoon loyalist at this point, and I needed to try something that seemed so against everything I know about dessert (and having never particularly liked spicy chocolate).
I was badly mistaken. This stuff is so good! Is it weird? Yes. But after that initial bite to adjust, I thoroughly enjoyed adding this to my ice cream. It was divine, and now I need to find out what else I can put this one
I have to buy two big jars of this at a time because I put it on my eggs on toast every. single. morning. It's to die for and I will never buy another chili crisp
I love that I can gift these, bring them to parties, and spice everything I have! :)
Great!
Our lives have been changed for the better since the day we wandered accidentally into the Sebastopol farmers market. Wandering about, we came across this vendor offering samples. One taste and I was just, “wow, what is this?” My only frustration is that I can’t get a 55 gallon drum of this sauce. We use it in fresh vegetables, we cook marinated tofu in it, I use it in Just Egg scrambles. It’s so versatile and really opens up any dish. We love it. Please don’t stop…ever. lol. Thank you for what you do
I just have to be honest, I am obsessed with everything you guys make!! this one is so fresh and tasty and adds a lot of flavor without being extra spicy.. I want to put it on everything!
This is so delicious, spicy, crunchy, all of the goodness so just get it and you will love it too. SO GOOD!!!
Already obsessed?

What is chili crisp?
Your new favorite condiment!
Chili crisp sauces are made with chili peppers, aromatics, and spices infused in oil for a perfectly crunchy, crispy, tingly, flavorful kick. Chili crisp has roots in Sichuan cuisine, but is universally delicious on any dish.
We developed our olive oil-based recipe over years of feedback from friends, family, and neighbors. When we made their first batch, we didn’t think it would grow up to have its own website, but here we are! Thank you for being part of the Big Spoon fam.
From the Press Democrat: Occidental couple’s recipe for chili crisp sauce has a devoted fan base
"For those unfamiliar with chili crisp, a few whiffs of Bender frying shallots while Chan pours a complex blend of spices into a large bowl, readying it for a rendezvous with the sizzling-hot shallot oil, will entice you to make Big Spoon Sauce Co.’s acquaintance." -- Jennifer Graue, January 2023
