Boon Sauce is a small-batch, slow-cooked chili crisp created in Los Angeles by chef Max Boonthanakit. Inspired by Chinese chili crisp traditions and his Thai-Chinese upbringing, it combines crispy shallots, garlic, chilies, fennel, prickly ash, and dissolved anchovies for deep, savory umami flavor.
Original
Balanced warmth with crispy shallots, garlic, subtle licorice notes from fennel, and a gentle citrusy tingle from prickly ash. Dissolved anchovies add a deep, funky, savory richness without overpowering the other flavors.
Spice Level: 6–7/10
Extra Hot
Made with 100% chile de árbol for a sharp, fast heat with a bright, citrusy edge. Garlic and dissolved anchovies balance the intense spice with deep, savory umami. Recommended for serious heat lovers.
Spice Level: 9/10
