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.

What is chili crisp?

Chili crisp is a crunchy, crispy, tingly, spice-loaded flavor companion to foods of all kinds. It has roots in Sichuan cuisine but is universally delicious on any dish.

Lani and Nate developed their recipe over years of feedback from friends, family, and enthusiastic strangers. When they made their first batch, they 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
