About Us
ABOUT US — YOPO CHILI LIMITED
From a grandmother's kitchen in Xi'an to your table in Hong Kong
Some recipes are too good to keep to yourself. YoPo Chili Sauce began not in a factory or a test kitchen, but in a small home in Xi'an, Shaanxi province — where the smell of sizzling chili peppers and hot canola oil meant one thing: grandmother was cooking.
"The moment that oil hit the chilies, the whole kitchen came alive. That smell meant something delicious was coming — and it always meant laughter."
For co-founder Gengxiao, 油潑辣子 is more than a condiment. It is a childhood memory, a family tradition, and a taste that no supermarket shelf in Hong Kong could ever quite replicate. Grandmother's recipe — passed down through years of love, instinct, and a generous hand with the spices — was always the one that people asked about, talked about, and came back for.
When Gengxiao moved to Hong Kong, that unmistakable flavour was the one thing missing. Authentic Shaanxi-style 油潑辣子 — made the real way, with proper Shaanxi dried chili peppers and high-heat canola oil — simply didn't exist here. So together with partner Mark, the decision was made: bring grandmother's recipe to Hong Kong, and share it with everyone.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
• All natural — No preservatives. No artificial additives. Just real ingredients, the way grandmother made it.
• Small batch — Every jar is crafted with care and attention — never mass-produced, never rushed.
• True to the original — The recipe has not changed. We honour the tradition exactly as it was taught to us.

關於我們
從西安奶奶的廚房，到您香港的餐桌
有些食譜，好得讓人不捨得藏起來。YoPo油潑辣子的故事，不是從工廠或實驗室開始，而是從陝西省西安市一個小小的家庭廚房說起——那裡，滾燙菜籽油與辣椒相遇的香氣，意味著奶奶正在下廚。
「熱油一潑上辣椒，整個廚房頓時活了起來。那個香味代表著美食即將上桌——也代表著笑聲與歡樂。」
對聯合創辦人耕曉來說，油潑辣子不只是一種調味料，更是童年的記憶、家族的傳承，以及一種在香港任何超市貨架上都找不到的味道。奶奶的食譜——經過多年用愛、用心、用一雙慷慨的手傳承下來——始終是大家念念不忘、一再追問的那一罐。
耕曉移居香港後，最思念的正是這個味道。正宗陝西式油潑辣子——以真正的秦椒、高溫菜籽油製成的那種——在香港幾乎無跡可尋。於是，他與拍檔Mark共同決定：將奶奶的食譜帶到香港，與大家分享。
我們的堅持
• 全天然——無防腐劑，無人工添加劑。只用真材實料，一如奶奶當年的做法。
• 小批量製作——每一瓶都用心製作，從不求量，只求質。
• 忠於原味——食譜從未改變，我們尊重並傳承這份正宗的味道。
