Hoisin sauce is a true Cantonese classic. It is a delicious sweet and savory sauce made from soybeans and Chinese spices. You can use hoisin sauce for stir-frying, marinating (barbecue) meat, and as a dipping sauce for fries and spring rolls. Hoisin sauce is most suitable for fatty meats, such as spare ribs, Peking duck, and pork. If you find the taste too strong, you can dilute it with oil or water. The sauce has no added flavor enhancers, preservatives, or colorings. Hoisin sauce is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
