Homemade Hoisin Sauce ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #Asian #Hoisin #sauce #recipe

Hoisin sauce is a thick, pungent sauce commonly used in Chinese cuisine as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir fries, or as dipping sauce. It is darkly coloured in appearance and both sweet and salty in taste. If you find yourself needing Hoisin sauce for a recipe, but have none on hand, this is a very handy recipe. It uses common pantry ingredients for the most part, so you might even have everything you need to make it.


I use this sauce for things like my popular Spicy Asian Ginger Meatballs (hailed as the very best recipe I made for my First Blog-iversary party) and also for the surprise twist that gives my Mahogany Beef Stew that wonderful depth of flavor. I don’t use it that often, so I’m glad to have this recipe for those times when I need it, but I don’t want to run to the store to get some. I like to make my own sauces and spice mixtures at home. There’s something immensely satisfying about tasting something wonderful when you made the sauce yourself.

I love this! I am always for making my own sauces since bottled ones are just always full of unnecessary things!

Great idea – pinned so I don’t forget.I frequently use hoisin and every time I buy it I wonder if I couldn’t make it myself – now I know how! I’m sure it will be better tasting and less expensive.

This is a very nice recipe to have! I like making sauces from scratch as well. We love hoisin sprinkled with peanuts for Vietnamese summer rolls. And grilled chicken basted with hoisin and served on a bed of fried rice vermicelli is exceptional. So many uses for this versatile sauce!

We go through a lot of hoisin sauce and I have thought of making my own. I have never seen one with peanut butter before. That is a very different twist.
