Questions about Hoisin sauce
How do you use hoisin sauce in a stir-fry?
Add a spoonful near the end of cooking, then toss for a minute or two so it coats the ingredients without scorching. Thin it with a splash of water if it is too thick or intense.
Can you use hoisin sauce as a marinade?
Yes. Brush it over duck, pork, tofu or aubergine before roasting or grilling; mix it with a little oil and water so the sugary sauce spreads easily. Keep some separate for serving rather than reusing marinade that has touched raw meat.
What does hoisin sauce go well with?
It is a classic accompaniment to crispy aromatic duck, often served with thin pancakes, spring onions and cucumber. It also pairs well with pork, tofu and crunchy vegetables in wraps or stir-fries.
What can you use instead of hoisin sauce?
For a quick substitute, mix plum sauce with a little soy sauce and a small spoonful of peanut butter or tahini for savouriness and body. It will not taste exactly the same, so add the mixture gradually.
Does hoisin sauce contain seafood?
Despite its name, hoisin sauce is not generally made with seafood; it is typically based on fermented soya beans, with sweet and savoury seasonings. Ingredients differ, so check the jar if you need to avoid a particular allergen.
Does hoisin sauce need to be refrigerated after opening?
Usually, yes: seal the jar and refrigerate it after opening, using a clean spoon each time. Follow the storage instructions on the jar, since recipes and preservatives differ.
Is hoisin sauce the same as oyster sauce?
No. Hoisin is thick, sweet and strongly flavoured with fermented soya, while oyster sauce is savoury and usually less sweet. Oyster sauce is not a direct substitute for hoisin in dishes such as crispy aromatic duck.
