XO Sauce is a Chinese condiment that adds tons of flavor to a dish. Some people even use it as a dipping sauce. It is made from a mixture of dried shredded sea food (scallop, fish, clams, squid) and other ingredients. Read more One is mild and there is also a version with chili that is very nice. I have used two brands and find that the Lee Kum Kee brand is the tastiest. This is an expensive sauce to have, but you only need a small amount to season your dish and it will keep for months in the refrigerator. A small jar is going to cost close to $8. (I paid almost 25 for a 16oz jar that I bought in Yokohama.) See less
