What is it?

CHINSU Chilli Sauce is Vietnam's number one chilli sauce brand, produced by Masan Consumer Corporation, which was established in 2002 as a premium condiment brand for Vietnamese families . This 250g bottle contains a smooth, thick sauce made from ripe red chillies sourced from Quang Ngai province—Vietnam's best region for cultivating high-quality chillies . The sauce is crafted from fresh chilli (approximately 7%), sugar (6%), garlic, tomato paste, and refined seasonings, delivering a balanced sweet-spicy flavour with a natural red colour and moderate heat . Unlike some competitors, CHINSU does not use artificial capsaicin or heat enhancers to achieve its spiciness .

When to use it?

CHINSU Chilli Sauce is incredibly versatile and can enhance almost any meal. It is the perfect table condiment for Vietnamese favourites like Pho, spring rolls, and grilled meats . Use it as a dipping sauce for fried snacks, chicken wings, and seafood, or as a marinade for barbecue and stir-fries . It also adds a flavorful kick to sandwiches, rice bowls, and eggs—customers report using it on "essentially everything" . The convenient 250g bottle is ideal for home kitchens and daily use .

How to use it?

Shake the bottle well before each use. Squeeze the desired amount directly onto your food as a dipping sauce, or stir it into soups, noodles, and marinades to add extra heat and flavour . For a creamy dipping sauce, mix CHINSU with mayonnaise . After opening, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight . For best quality, refrigerate after opening and consume within a reasonable timeframe.

Why is this better?

CHINSU distinguishes itself as the market leader in Vietnam, backed by a reputation for consistent quality and authentic taste . The brand's commitment to using ripe chillies from the premier growing region in Vietnam ensures a vibrant colour and fresh, natural flavour . Its smooth, thick consistency makes it easy to pour and dip, unlike thinner or chunkier alternatives . Customer reviews consistently praise its balanced flavour—"sweet and spicy" and "tastier than other brands"—with many preferring it over the well-known Sriracha . The sauce also comes in a practical 250g size that is perfect for households that use it daily .
