The creamy hoisin sauce originally comes from China and is based on a soy sauce that is refined with spices, sugar and vinegar. The Hoisinsauce is characterized by the viscous consistency and a pleasant, sweet-spicy taste, which develops a slight sharpness in the finish. The hoisin sauce, which is particularly popular in China and Vietnam, is mainly used for marinades or glazes for meat dishes (e.g. Peking duck). You can also serve the sauce with snacks like dim sum. Also try the hoisin sauce to refine rice and pasta dishes - incredibly delicious!
