Ingredients
Scale
- 4 spoons of smooth peanut butter (or black bean paste if you want it closer to the traditional flavor)
- 2 spoons soy sauce
- 1 spoon of honey or molasses
- ½ a spoon of rice vinegar
- ½ a clove of fresh garlic (grated)
- A pinch of five-spice powder
- Optional: A drop or two of sesame oil
- Optional: A dab of hot sauce or chili paste if you like a little kick
Instructions
Mix it all in a bowl until smooth. Add warm water if it feels too thick. Taste, adjust, and let it sit for a few minutes before using. You just made your own hoisin sauce without weird preservatives or fillers.
