The Full Ching's Secret Range

Ching's Secret Schezwan Sauce

The most popular product in the Ching's Secret range and the one that started the Indo-Chinese movement in Indian home cooking. Made with red chillies, garlic, and a specific blend of spices that produces the characteristic Schezwan flavour — hot, garlicky, and slightly numbing. Used as a cooking sauce in noodles and fried rice, as a dipping sauce for snacks, and as a marinade for grilled meats and paneer.

A jar of Ching's Schezwan Sauce is the most efficient way to bring the flavour of Schezwan restaurant cooking into a home kitchen without building the sauce from scratch.

Ching's Secret Schezwan Chutney

A thicker, more concentrated version of the Schezwan sauce, designed specifically as a dipping chutney for momos, spring rolls, and snacks. The heat level is higher and the texture is coarser than the cooking sauce. Used at the table rather than during cooking.

Ching's Secret Soy Sauce

The base sauce for all Indo-Chinese cooking. Ching's Soy Sauce is formulated to work with Indian spice profiles rather than as a standalone Japanese or Chinese soy sauce. It has a slightly stronger, saltier character that integrates well into dishes that also contain Indian aromatics like ginger, garlic, and green chilli. Used in noodles, fried rice, Manchurian, and marinades.

Available in: 200ml and 750ml bottles

Ching's Secret Green Chilli Sauce

A bright, fresh-tasting chilli sauce made with green chillies and vinegar. The heat is clean and immediate without the smokiness of red chilli sauces. Used as a dipping sauce for dim sum, spring rolls, and fried snacks, and as a cooking sauce in dishes like chilli chicken and chilli paneer where a green chilli character is needed.

Ching's Secret Red Chilli Sauce

Thicker and more complex than the green version, Ching's Red Chilli Sauce is used both as a dipping sauce and in cooking. The red chilli base works well in gravies and stir-fries where a richer colour and deeper heat is needed.

Ching's Secret Tomato Chilli Sauce

A sweet and mildly spiced tomato sauce with a chilli finish. Positioned between a ketchup and a hot sauce, it works as an all-purpose dipping sauce for children and adults who prefer less heat. Commonly used with spring rolls, samosas, and pakoras.

Ching's Secret Vinegar

Chinese-style white vinegar that is an essential condiment in Indo-Chinese cooking. Used to balance the richness of Manchurian gravies, added to noodle soups at the table, and used in pickling preparations. The Ching's vinegar has a clean, sharp acidity without the harsh edge of cheaper white vinegar.

Ching's Secret Noodles

Hakka noodles designed specifically for stir-frying. The noodles are thin, firm, and hold their structure when tossed in a hot wok or pan with sauces and vegetables. They do not become soft or sticky when stir-fried at high heat, which is the key requirement for Indo-Chinese noodle dishes. Used in Schezwan noodles, Hakka noodles with vegetables, and chilli noodles.

Ching's Secret Hot Garlic Sauce

A bold combination of roasted garlic and red chilli in a thick sauce format. Used in stir-fries, as a base for garlic fried rice, and as a marinade for grilled proteins. The garlic note is stronger and more roasted in character than in the standard red chilli sauce.

What Is Indo-Chinese Cooking

Indo-Chinese food is a culinary style that developed in the Indian Chinese community in Kolkata and later spread across the entire country. It takes Chinese cooking techniques — the wok, high-heat stir-frying, and Chinese sauces like soy and vinegar — and combines them with Indian spices, aromatics, and flavour preferences.

Dishes like Schezwan noodles, Hakka noodles, Chicken Manchurian, Chilli Paneer, and Chilli Chicken are all Indo-Chinese dishes that are now as familiar in Indian households as dal or biryani. Ching's Secret built its entire brand around this style of cooking and became the dominant brand in the category as a result.

For Indian households living in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, Ching's Secret products allow them to cook the same Indo-Chinese dishes at home without needing access to a specialist Chinese grocery store.

How to Use Ching's Sauces in Everyday Cooking

Schezwan Fried Rice

Cook day-old rice in a hot pan with oil, garlic, spring onion, mixed vegetables, and soy sauce. Add two tablespoons of Ching's Schezwan Sauce at the end and toss on high heat for 60 seconds. The sauce coats the rice evenly and the dish is ready in under 10 minutes.

Chilli Paneer

Fry cubed paneer until golden. In the same pan, stir-fry onion, capsicum, green chilli, and garlic. Add Ching's Soy Sauce, Green Chilli Sauce, and a teaspoon of vinegar. Toss the paneer back in and cook on high heat for two minutes. The sauces create a glossy, well-balanced coating that is both spicy and slightly tangy.

Schezwan Noodles

Boil Ching's Hakka Noodles until just cooked, then cool under running water to stop the cooking. Stir-fry with vegetables, soy sauce, and two tablespoons of Schezwan Sauce. The sauce clings to the noodles and the result is a restaurant-quality dish in under 15 minutes.
