chara
Authentically Hong Kong. Reimagined in Brooklyn.
Ready for the American Table.
chara Original
Our flagship sauce is a marinade that underwent numberous taste tests to represent what we grew up eating in Hong Kong. It combines traditional soy sauce, fresh aromatics, a carefully guarded blend of Asian spices and the uniquely flavored fermented tofu. Perfect for your next barbecue gathering.
Homemade Chili Oil
Our aromatic chili oil brings the perfect balance of heat and flavor to any dish. Made with premium dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, and fragrant spices, this oil adds depth and complexity to noodles, dumplings, and stir-fries.
Our Story
We are Flora and Clara, the makers of Chara. We share deep roots in Hong Kong, were globally raised, and now proudly rooted in Brooklyn, New York.
Caught between our identities as proud Hong Kongers and Americans, Chara is our way of honoring the city that shaped and fueled us.
