Notes

  • You can use Hoisin sauce for any Asian recipe you are putting together that has a sweet and spicy flavor combination, as well as on its own.
  • Make a double batch and share with neighbors and family!
  • Traditional hoisin sauce doesn but I don't put Chinese five-spice powder in mine but if you like the flavor feel free to add a pinch or two.
  • If you need a hoisin sauce substitute, try soybean paste or BBQ molasses.
