Forget ordinary hot sauce. Taste of Viet Sate is small-batch, slow-simmered Vietnamese chili oil crafted with bruised wild lemongrass, crispy garlic crunch, golden shallots, and fiery sun-dried bird's eye heat.
Most chili oils rely on black beans, numbing peppercorns, or heavy vinegar. Vietnamese Sa Tế is uniquely celebrated for its floral citrus aroma, crisp garlic bite, and clean heat.
We bruise fresh wild lemongrass stalks by hand before slow-simmering in oil. This releases natural citrus oils that cut through rich beef broths, eggs, and oily dumplings with refreshing brightness.
Generously loaded with hand-sliced shallots and garlic slow-crisped to golden-brown perfection. Every spoonful delivers a hearty crunch that stays crisp even in steaming hot bowls of Pho.
That gorgeous deep crimson glow comes strictly from infused whole annatto seeds. 100% plant-based, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of artificial colors, preservatives, or MSG.

Lemongrass is the indispensable signature of authentic Vietnamese Sa Tế. Unlike plain chili crisps that feel heavy or greasy, slow-infused lemongrass imparts a citrus-floral brightness that lifts heavy broths and instantly wakes up the palate.
From iconic street soups to late-night pizza crusts, Taste of Viet Sate turns ordinary comfort food into a Michelin-level experience.
Wok-seared jasmine rice tossed with sweet Chinese sausage, scallions, and sunny scrambled egg. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of Sate over the hot dome for an intoxicating sizzle.
A dollop swirled directly into hot beef bone broth instantly blooms the lemongrass and garlic, floating an amber sheen that turns ordinary takeout pho into restaurant gold.
Fry an egg directly in 1 tablespoon of Taste of Viet Sate until the edges lace up golden and crispy. Slide over creamy mashed avocado on crusty toasted sourdough.
Slide through the heat levels below to see how each spoonful balances aromatic citrus, garlic crunch, and fiery bird's eye warmth.
The Verdict: Perfect balance for daily eating. Enough assertive bird's eye heat to make chili lovers smile, with intense citrus and garlic aromatics.

"Finally an authentic Vietnamese sate! The lemongrass is so fresh you can smell it the second you pop the seal. Put it on pho and yesterday's fried rice. Already on my 3rd jar."
"The crunch is Unreal. Unlike Lao Gan Ma which is mostly soy beans and numbing spice, this has actual crispy fried shallots and garlic that don't get soggy. 10/10."
"We marinate our lemongrass chicken wings and pork skewers with Taste of Viet Sate before hitting the open flame. The caramelization and aroma brings people in from down the street."
