Homemade Hoisin Sauce
This sauce is awesome on chicken and beef recipes that normally call for barbeque sauce. I might even try it on pork blades on the grill.

This is excellent, and a lot less sugar than the store bought stuff. I think I may put bit of a kick to it next time, since I like a bit of spice.
Read More1.3.17 Will cut back a bit on the soy sauce in the future. The one thing that wasn’t quite right about this was the consistency. Hoisin sauce’s texture is much thicker. You need a spoon to get hoisin sauce out of a jar, but you can pour this. I did add a bit more peanut butter in an effort to thicken it a bit, and that helped a little. This will work in a pinch, and was pretty good with a stir-fried beef and veggie dish for lunch.

I made this today and WOW! I used 2 cloves of minced garlic, and a dash of molasses as well. I mixed with the cuisine hand mixer to completely incorporate the minced garlic. It came out a little thin, so I added 1tsp of cornstarch and let it simmer for 2 min on the stove. That thickened it up well.
Much better than processed, junk-filled sauce from the store. I subbed molasses for the brown sugar, and used rice wine vinegar. After tasting (and rating) the recipe as written, I adjusted to suit my family's taste, as follows: added a couple teaspoons chili-garlic sambal, a pinch of chinese 5-spice, and a lil extra vinegar. This gave it the kick I needed. Yummy! Total keeper. Next time I'll make a bigger batch and keep it handy.

This is perfect Since I do not normally have Chinese 5 spice that is normally in hoisin sauce. Did substitute dark brown sugar with light brown sugar and replaced the hot sauce and garlic ingredients with 2 tsp of chili garlic sauce. Whisked all ingredients together in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat until thick and smooth. Added 1 tablespoon of this hoisin sauce to my homemade General Tsao’s sauce. Definitely keeper and don’t have to buy it again. This hoisin sauce is perfect for chicken and broccoli if you want that authentic takeout taste! Yum
It didn’t taste anything like hoisin sauce, surprisingly. This was actually pretty similar to peanut sauce, however, another popular Vietnamese/Thai dipping condiment.
made this for our Lettuce Wraps and was very good. Can not buy it at grocery store has gluten in it and make it so my husband can enjoy it.
I used this for a wonton soup recipe, it was very good and used ingredients I had on hand. I ony had natural peanut butter so the sauce wasn't smooth but that was fine. For the Chinese hot sauce and black pepper I used Sambal Oleck instead. I would defintely use again when I need Hoisin sauce instead of buying. #AllrecipesAllstarsCanada #LunarNewYear
I make this every time I make stir-fry. It's perfect to cook in with all the veggies and meat and spoon it over rice. Another stir-fry staple is yum-yum sauce A.K.A. Japanese white sauce. Cook your stir fry in hoisin sauce, squirt it all over with yum-yum and Sriracha and you'll never need to go to the restaurant for that Japanese steak house flavor again :)
I was skeptical, but in a COVID pinch, so tried it for lettuce wraps. Turned out great! And felt more natural, less MSG-like. I think I’ll make my own fro here on out. Thanks!
Made 1/2 of the recipe and it yielded about 4 tablespoons which I used in a recipe for Asian dressing on a salad. If you keep whisking, it gets thicker.
Very good! I made it gluten free by using a gluten free soy.
Made as recipe shows but was too salty for us. Next time will use low sodium soy. Keeper.
It was good! I didn’t put the hot sauce in since I am allergic to it.
This is not even close to hoisin sauce. Way too salty and too much peanut butter! Use low sodium soy sauce, then only 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and add 2 tsp corn starch for a better result.
I substituted tahini (sesame paste) instead of peanut butter, teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar instead of white wine vinegar (all to taste). I put it on white fish (haddock and cod) covered and baked it @425°F for 10-15 (till flaked). It had a lovely Asian/Mediterranean fusion flavor served with rice, sweet potatoes and a Waldorf salad with raisins. Yum!
I used minced garlic and chilli sauce and molasses in place of brown sugar. Turned out great. My husband enjoys it with canned salmon on top of his stir-fry.
Did just what they said, yield is more like 1/3 cup. It's fairly salty, so I used lite soy and will lower the salt called for in the stir fry recipe. Great flavor!!
Good sauce and easy to make. I used it in a low mein dish.
This was perfect for a garlic noodle recipe I wanted to try that called for hoisin sauce. Great flavor!
I made this recipe as I needed it to make crock pot general Tso chicken. I like it a lot. I have never tasted it before , or made it. Therefore I rated the recipe 4 stars as I don;t know if there are better recipes. I will make this again, but will also try other recipes to see if there is a difference. I might add more fresh ginger another time. I added more peanut butter as i read one review that said she like the sauce thicker.
I didn't have any dark brown sugar or sesame oil, so I used light brown sugar and peanut oil. I think it came out just fine.
Extremely salty and tastes nothing like hoisin sauce. Added honey and it is ok but still not good.
It was sooo simple to make and the taste was awesome! Goes well with stir-fries! I love that I can make it instead of having to buy it.
My daughter is on a low FODMAP diet, and is unable to tolerate the bottled hoisin sauce from the grocery store, so I have to make it from scratch. I was very disappointed in this recipe as it tasted more like a peanut sauce than hoisin sauce. I was hoping to avoid preparing black bean paste, but I guess there will be no shortcut with this recipe. It was good, but wasn't really hoisin sauce.
