Cooking gluten free often means making what you need from scratch to avoid contaminants. I used trusted ingredients from my pantry to put this recipe together and could rest easy knowing the dish I prepared was truly gluten free. The side benefit to making your own homemade condiments, etc, is avoiding preservatives or other undesirable ingredients such as MSG. I really appreciate this recipe. It was terrific! One thing I would suggest is mixing the peanut butter and honey together well first, then slowly incorporating the soy sauce, oil and remaining ingredients. I threw them all together as directed and found that it took lots of elbow grease with the whisk to get the peanut butter to incorporate with everything else. When I make this recipe, I double the ingredients and freeze the extra in ice cube trays, to always have some ready to go. Most trays hold 1 Tb in each compartment, making it super easy to measure out.

This was surprisingly good!! I didn't realize it would be SO much better than store-bought. Really loved the noodles that I made with it. Will no longer buy hoisin after having this!

I have to be very careful with ingredients due to food allergies and fussy palates, while this recipe will suit my purpose I find it odd that when you offer a "home made" recipe it still includes a commercial product, the Chinese hot sauce. I had to go back another step to see what was in that and make that as well. In my opinion a home made recipe should be basic ingredients, or am I being too fussy here.

THIS IS DELICIOUS! Way better than store bought, and without all the crappy ingredients, like corn syrup. I’ve thought about buying at the store a number of times but didn’t want the processed ingredients. I didn’t know it was so easy to make!

I made it because in the time of Covid 19, there wasn't any at my grocery store. I thought it was delicious, and very easy to make. I had all the ingredients at home.
