In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, peanut butter (or black bean paste), honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, Chinese five-spice powder, and Sriracha if you're using it, and mix again.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, then pour it into the hoisin sauce mixture.
Whisk everything together until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., add more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness).
