Homemade Hoisin Sauce
Description
This Homemade Hoisin Sauce uses a combination of soy and black bean garlic sauces as a savory base complementing the sweetness of brown sugar and prunes. Seasoned rice vinegar adds acidity while sesame oil contributes nutty richness. Chinese five spice powder and garlic powder bring warm, fragrant depth.
The recipe emphasizes blending all ingredients until smooth for a consistent texture. Stored in an airtight container, the sauce keeps well refrigerated for two weeks or freezes for up to three months, extending usability.
This sauce works well as a dipping sauce, marinade, or a flavor enhancer in various Asian dishes. Adjustments such as substituting light brown sugar with molasses-enhanced light brown sugar or using low-sodium soy sauce can fine-tune flavor and dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce lite
- 3 tablespoon black bean garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 5 prunes chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add everything to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Store in an airtight container in fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 7 fluid ounces of hoisin sauce.
- Use light brown sugar but add a teaspoon of molasses if substituting with regular light brown sugar for a closer flavor match.
- Low sodium soy sauce can be used interchangeably with lite soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
