What is hoisin sauce? When and how to use hoisin sauce.

Hoisin sauce is one of the most commonly used sauces in Chinese cooking next to soy sauce and oyster sauce. It has reached the American public through its availability in many supermarkets across the country. Hoisin sauce has a sweet flavor and is frequently used in different cuisines other than Chinese cuisines. Hoisin sauce is also used routinely as a dipping sauce for garnishing well known dishes such as Peking duck and moo shu pork. In this video, the application of hoisin sauce in preparing dishes with a teriyaki sauce is used as an example in creating the favor that you enjoy.

This man is a great educator! I wonder why he has a few subscribers? He deserves 100k or more! Thank you very much sir for the detailed explanation. You shared jewels of knowledge and wisdom especially in stir fry cooking style. Just subscribed to your channel.

[@copperlocks1]

Short attention span audience; most want an instant answer; not a history lesson and anecdotal stories; which is a lost art; I am grateful for his teaching style; Thank You Mr. Tak ,

[@grovermartin6874]

@@copperlocks1 Could be. I love that he gives a bit of the history. He's easy to understand, has a calm manner and pleasant voice. He's a Chinese Max Miller [Tasting History] cum Lao Tsu. I'm surprised that the Algorithm didn't present his channel to me. If I hadn't been sorting through sites for oyster sauce uses, I wouldn't have found him!

I recently discovered Hoisin sauce and absolutely love it and use it whenever possible. And now that I found your channel, I am learning from a true Master Chef. Thank you Sir!

[@anopeninvitationwithsheila4348]

In addition to regular hoisin sauce, they now sell hoisin sauce with lemongrass at the WalMart and it is delicious! Love your videos Mr. Tak!

[@williamj3843]

I enjoyed your explanation. I cook for a family member who can't have wheat and have used gluten-free hoisin sauce as a dark soy substitute and sweetener. Glad to know my instincts were on the right track. Thank you.

[@wokwithtak]

I think that you are right on the mark. Thank you for your comments!

[@motohiro0215]

Thank you for your explanation. Actually I had no idea what hoisin sauce is. I thought cooking sauce for sea food by name. Now I know and loved the idea using substitute of sugar or as teriyaki sauce. I really like it and followed your channel.

Good vibe, nice info. Thanks Tak.

[@shelleylee8774]

While my husband loves my homemade sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce is my favorite. I use it as a cooking sauce, over fried rice, and as a dipping sauce when I stir-fry chicken (dusted lightly in corn starch and Tak's special seasoning mix).

[@wokwithtak]

Sounds great!

[@jamesparker1287]

I have tried many of your templates. They all turned out great. Thanks to you I cook more Chinese food now. It's much cheaper and better than going out to eat. All of your videos are very helpful. Thank you. We have a local Chinese restaurant that makes their own duck or plumb sauce. I would love to try to make one. But don't know where to start.

[@wokwithtak]

Great to hear! I definitely would like to help out in coming up with a duck dish. Please tell me more what you are looking for in flavor and texture of the duck. You can write me at [e-mail]. Thank you for your comments!

Hoisin sauce, I have no idea how to use it but I will put it in a wish list of recipes so to say. I'm a beginner at really learning how to cook so this intrigued me.

We were smoking Marlin today. I used Hoisen Sauce to baste the Fish. I brushed on a coat every 30 minutes of the 6 hour smoking process. Absolutely delicious!!!! Not too sweet, very nice compliment to the smoked fish flavor. Great Video, Thank You!!!

[@godofrock]

I have been using it as a base for sauces thank you for explaining the sauce and its use. Have you ever made a mandarine orange based sweet sauce for egg rolls if so please share it with us. A first generation family Chinese restaurant would make it and it was so much better than plum or duck sauce but when the grandfather died it died with him. We lost a good man and the best dipping sauce i ever had.

[@lydiachoate1277]

Excellent presentation.👍

[@sarar371]

[@insekta1701]

I have that huge bottle of hoisin sauce you showed. I love it! I can’t get enough of it, ever since I was little girl. I can’t live without it as an absolutely must have kitchen staple, and I use about 3/4 of the 36oz bottle every month. I eat it with noodles, pork, fried chicken, char siu, and many, many other things.

[@olenfersoi8887]

Very interesting! When I was young, one of our neighbors was an old diplomat (& his wife) from the Republic of China...Mr. & Mrs. Si...who fled China to the US when the communists took over. As they were from N. China, I'm sure that the meals they served us were very different than than Cantonese style which was all that was available in US-Chinese restaurants at the time. It didn't occur to me that I was eating something rare here at the time. And, for years, Cantonese style was all I ate of Chinese cooking. Years later, my uncle Lou, who lived next to NYC Chinatown took me to a new restaurant, there, called the Dumpling House...where I first ate Moo Shu Pork and was reintroduced to N. China cuisine...and I've been in love with it ever since (together w/ Szechuan & Hunan styles).

[@glendeloid9210]

I use hoisin fairly often. It's great with salmon. I like your theory of the name origin. It's a great dipping sauce for seafood, but also in stir fry for sweetness and all its complex flavor - in moderation.

[@wokwithtak]

Thank you for your comment! I have never used it with salmon, and I need to give that a try.

[@crystin6064]

I like the way you think! We've also always used it with salmon, on top of some white rice...Yum!

Excellent video, as are all your instructional videos. I love the flavor profile in Hoi sin sauce but, in some dishes, it has a tendency to overpower the flavors of that dish. Fried rice is a good example.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Hi, as may know if remember me lol, love hoisin and oyster sauce, I assumed hoisin was a Mongolian type sauce til found out many uses, we have a multi culture Chinese restaurant and a favorite is "Mongolian beef" unlike anywhere else. It's made with beef, onion slices, 2" chopped scallions, and a broth made with hoisin. Another restaurant had Cantonese beef and scallions also had hoisin, onion, scallions but thick sauce and topped with a coarse pepper, whenever we go out (rarely now) I ask and they give their version which is fresh cuz chef creates it on the fly lol. I make the Mongolian way and use beef broth. Now learned a lot from you ty. America makes Americanized Asian dishes, I have some books on the original versions, and good, definitely healthier. Tyvm tc

[@cyclopsvision6370]

There is no dish called Mongolian beef with that flavor profile that is eaten or served in Mongolia, LOL

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@cyclopsvision6370 I know lol. That's what was trying to say. It's called that but I love Mongolian beef and there's no broth or hoisin.. it's really good but not Mongolian beef. Don't know why they call it that? Seems like every restaurant plays to American flavors, very few traditional Asian restaurants that are authentic.. my comment was to point this out. Ty
