About Hoisin
Hoisin is a flavorful, thick sauce originating from Chinese cuisine, often referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce." Its complex, sweet-salty profile makes it a staple in Asian cooking, commonly used as a glaze, dipping sauce, or stir-fry ingredient. The sauce typically contains fermented soybeans, garlic, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and spices, though recipes can vary. While hoisin is rich in distinctive umami flavor, it tends to be high in sugar and sodium, which can be a concern for individuals monitoring their intake. On the healthier side, it contains some protein and fiber due to the fermented soybeans. Hoisin is vegan-friendly and can serve as a flavorful alternative to meat-based sauces, making it popular in plant-based diets. However, moderation is key when using hoisin to balance its nutritional drawbacks with its culinary benefits.
