Hoisin Sauce
Description
Hoisin sauce is a thick, dark, sweet, and salty Chinese condiment with a complex, savory flavor profile. It is made from fermented soybeans, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and various spices, and is used as a glaze, marinade, stir-fry ingredient, or dipping sauce. Though its name means "seafood" in Cantonese, it typically does not contain any seafood products and is a versatile sauce often compared to Chinese barbecue sauce.
