Hoisin Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced - 1 teaspoon garlic powder is good instead)
  • 2 tablespoons honey ((you can use brown sugar instead))
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder (use more as desired)
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha ((or use any Chinese hot sauce, red chili sauce, chili paste or try your favorite hot sauce))
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Add all of the ingredients to a small pot, except for the cornstarch.

Heat to medium heat and warm through, stirring, until the ingredients combine.

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, until the cornstarch dissolves.

Pour the cornstarch and water mixture into the hoisin sauce pot and whisk until well combined.

Heat for another 1-2 minutes, until the hoisin sauce thickens.
