About Hoison sauce

Hoisin sauce is a thick, flavorful condiment commonly used in Chinese cuisine as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce. Its name translates to "seafood sauce," though it typically contains no seafood. Made from ingredients like fermented soybean paste, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and spices, hoisin sauce delivers a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavor profile. While it enhances the taste of dishes like stir-fries, Peking duck, or spring rolls, its nutritional makeup requires moderation. Hoisin sauce is high in sodium and added sugars, which can contribute to dietary imbalances if consumed in large quantities. However, it’s also vegan-friendly and provides a rich flavor that reduces the need for excessive oils or fats in cooking. To enjoy hoisin sauce healthfully, use it sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
