Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili paste (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and, if desired, sriracha or chili paste for heat.
Add the water to the saucepan to slightly thin the sauce.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir continuously to combine the ingredients fully.
Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature before using or storing.
Use the basting sauce immediately on grilled or roasted dishes, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
