Originating in southern China, hoisin sauce is now found in supermarkets from the US to Japan and is even used in cocktails and desserts
Hoisin sauce is a thick, fragrant condiment that originated in southern China’s Guangdong province.
Its name hints at its origin – hoisin means “seafood” in Cantonese – yet the sauce contains no seafood. It is entirely vegan, made from fermented soybeans, sugar, vinegar, garlic and spices. The resulting umami flavour is savoury, slightly sweet and spicy.
Hoisin sauce resembles oyster sauce in colour and texture, but their flavours differ.
