Hoisin Sauce Recipes

201 recipesPantry Staples

Hoisin sauce is a thick, glossy Chinese-style condiment with a sweet, salty, savory flavor and gentle spice. Made with ingredients such as fermented soybean paste, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and spices, it adds instant depth to quick weeknight recipes.

Use hoisin sauce to glaze roasted meats, season stir-fries, enrich noodle sauces, or make a fast dipping sauce for dumplings, spring rolls, lettuce wraps, and scallion pancakes. Its concentrated flavor means a spoonful can make vegetables, tofu, chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp taste more complex.

Because hoisin is sweet and thick, it works best when balanced with acidic, salty, spicy, or fresh ingredients like rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, chili crisp, ginger, and scallions.
