Hoisin Sauce

Galley Wench's Note:

It's next to impossible to find Hoisin Sauce in Mexico, so I'm learning to make my own. Recipe from Epicurion website. Ignore the nutritional information as this recipe only makes 1/2 cup however unable to input that amount into the recipe!

Great and easy, with a good flavor. I used tamari soy sauce, peanut butter, and honey. Thanks for sharing!

I needed this for recipe#448488 as I couldn't find it in the store. I've made another recipe on here also before and both taste a little differant, I've never had the real thing so can't say which is closest but both are good. I did make a couple of small changes, added a teaspoon of powdered ginger and then heated it all in the microwave for 1 minute - that not only helped to melt, so blend everything together easier but seemed to thicke it just enough to the consistancy I was hoping for. Loved that it made only 1/2 cup as I didn't have a lot left over to store. I used peanut butter and the full amount of siracchi hot sauce and it was perfect, not hot at all. Very nice recipe GW

This has worked great in a pinch for a couple recipes. Love that one can find anything on this site! This worked great in Mou Shu Chicken Wraps ( Mou Shu Chicken Wraps ) and I always have these ingredients on hand. Thanks for posting!
