Real Thai Sriracha Hot Chilli Garlic Sauce
Sriracha with garlic through it, which pushes the sauce from a table condiment towards something usable as a marinade or a base for dressings.

View SpecificationsSriracha with lemongrass, the most distinctly Thai of the four variants. The citrus note suits seafood and grilled chicken better than the plain bottle does.
View SpecificationsA ready sweet and sour cooking sauce, added to the pan with the protein and vegetables rather than served alongside. Removes the balancing act from a dish that lives or dies on it.
View SpecificationsA wok sauce built on tamarind, so the sourness is deeper and less sharp than a vinegar-based sweet and sour. Goes in at the end, over high heat.
View SpecificationsSweet chilli sauce, the dipping sauce that goes out with spring rolls, fried chicken and prawn crackers. Used cold and straight from the bottle rather than cooked.
View SpecificationsSweet plum sauce, the darker and fruitier dip. Served with duck, roast meats and fried starters where sweet chilli would be too sharp.
View SpecificationsThe spicy dressing for Thai salads, where heat and sourness do the work a creamy dressing would elsewhere. Poured over just before serving so the leaves stay crisp.
View SpecificationsThe paste for tom yum, the hot and sour Thai soup. Stirred into stock rather than fried off, and most often finished with prawns, mushrooms and lime.
View SpecificationsGround red chilli, used where a curry needs heat and a deep red colour at the same time. Added with the other ground spices at the base stage so it blooms in the oil.
View SpecificationsCrushed red chilli rather than ground, so the heat arrives in flecks instead of spread evenly through the dish. Used for tempering, for scattering over finished food, and anywhere the texture of the chilli should still be visible.
View SpecificationsRed raw rice, the rice a Maldivian kitchen cooks rather than the basmati it serves to guests. The base of everyday home cooking, sold in the standard pack.
View SpecificationsThe same red raw rice in a plastic bottle — the format that resists damp and stacks on a shelf, which matters more in this climate than it does elsewhere.
View SpecificationsBaking powder, the raising agent behind cakes, scones and pancakes. The one baking ingredient whose absence is discovered too late.
View SpecificationsCorn flour, used to thicken rather than to build — slurried into sauces, gravies and custards, and used to lighten a batter for frying.
View SpecificationsCustard powder, whisked into hot milk to set. The base of a trifle and the sauce beside a hot pudding, made without eggs or a bain-marie.
View SpecificationsVanilla powder, for flavouring cakes, custards and icings. Powder rather than essence, so it goes into a dry mix without adding liquid to the batter.
View SpecificationsMustard cream, milder and thicker than Dijon. Spooned onto a plate as a condiment or stirred into a sauce where straight mustard would be too aggressive.
View SpecificationsRice flour, used for crisping rather than for structure — in batters, in dusting before frying, and in the South Indian and Maldivian dishes built on it rather than on wheat.
View SpecificationsRigatoni in the 500g pack — a wide ridged tube, heavier than penne and cut straight rather than on the angle. The shape for baked pasta, where it holds its wall instead of collapsing.
View SpecificationsRoasted vermicelli, the fine wheat noodle used for sheer khurma and seviyan — simmered in sweetened milk rather than boiled and drained. Roasted already, so it needs no browning first.
View SpecificationsSalad cream, the tangier and thinner relative of mayonnaise. Used in sandwiches and potato salad where mayonnaise would be too rich and a vinaigrette too sharp.
View SpecificationsCaesar dressing from the Salata range, in the 450ml bottle — the size that suits a salad bar or a kitchen dressing to order all service, rather than a table bottle.
View SpecificationsFine herbs dressing from the Salata range, in the 450ml bottle. The mildest of the line, for salads where the dressing should not compete with what it is on.
View SpecificationsGarlic dressing from the Salata range, in the 450ml bottle. Doubles as a dip and a drizzle for grills as readily as it dresses a salad.
