    What is Hoisin Sauce?

    It's a thick, dark condiment made from fermented soybeans, garlic, sugar, and chiles. Some brands add vinegar or sesame, and others thicken it with flour.

    What does it taste like?

    It has a very strong salty and slightly sweet taste. Because of the fermentation, it has a complex flavor and tons of umami.

    Hoisin sauce uses

    • Dipping sauce: It's a famous accompaniment to Peking duck or Chinese roast duck.
    • Marinade: It can be used to marinate meats, especially barbeque dishes, like Char siu.
    • Stir-fry sauce: Add it to stir-fry sauces to add savory depth and bring out the other flavors.
    • Topping: Use it as a topping for rice bowls or noodles.

    1. Hoisin Chicken Stir Fry

    This Hoisin Chicken is like a really good version of Chinese takeout! It's quick and flavorful, and you can customize the veggies to your preferences.

    It features a savory ginger hoisin sauce made with sweet chili sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.

    You can enjoy this recipe with rice or in lettuce wraps!

    This beef stir-fry is one of the easiest recipes with Hoisin sauce.

    It features marinated beef with peppers and scallions, all tossed in a savory and sweet sauce made with miso, dark soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine.

    You can control how spicy it is by choosing the type of chiles you use! If you like it less spicy, I recommend Anaheim peppers.

    6. Baked Hoisin Chicken

    Baked Hoisin Chicken is a simple and tasty dish that takes around 40 minutes from start to finish. It features moist chicken with a sweet and savory Hoisin sauce.

    To make it, just mix the chicken with the sauce ingredients, then bake it in the oven.

    You can substitute the chicken with other dark meat like drumsticks, but avoid breasts, which can overcook quickly.

    Christopher Kimball is one of my favorite recipe developers, and this recipe doesn't disappoint!

    These noodles are salty and sweet, with a fresh, peppery kick from ginger and chili garlic sauce.

    You can use udon or lo mein noodles or substitute rice noodles for a gluten-free option.

    Serve it with scallions and roasted peanuts for pops of crunch!

    8. Spicy Garlic Tofu

    This Spicy Garlic Tofu is a milder, slightly sweet variation of the popular Sichuan dish, Mapo Tofu.

    It uses hoisin sauce to help balance the intense Sichuan flavors from the chili bean sauce and peppercorns.

    If you love bold flavors, then you'll love this recipe! Serve it with steamed rice and scallions on top.

    9. Sous Vide Char Siu

    Hoisin sauce is a key flavor component in the Chinese BBQ glaze for this sous vide recipe!

    This is one of the most popular recipes on my blog and is super easy to make.

    Simply marinate the pork, seal it in a bag, and let the sous vide cook it for several hours.

    Finish it off in the broiler to give it its signature char, then slice and serve it over steamed rice.

    Go to recipe

    10. Hoisin Chicken Stir-fry

    You'll love this Hoisin Chicken Stir-fry recipe because it's quick, convenient, and tasty!

    The marinating step keeps the chicken breasts tender, and if you're worried about overcooking, you can use chicken thighs instead.

    This dish goes well with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables. Here's a tip: steam some rice and add vegetables 10 minutes before it's done steaming.

    11. Chinese BBQ Ribs

    This was one of my favorite Hoisin sauce recipes growing up. My mom made it all the time, but she used sweet bean paste (which is a great substitute) instead.

    This recipe takes about two hours to make, but it's worth it! You'll slow-cook the ribs along with the spice mix and sauce, and in the last 15 minutes, crank up the heat to caramelize the sauce.

    It's super tasty with steamed rice and simple stir-fried greens or corn kernels.

    12. Easy Chinese Roast Duck

    This roasted duck recipe is a simpler version of traditional Peking duck! Hoisin sauce is a key ingredient in the delicious marinade that envelops the meat with its aroma.

    I recommend air-drying the duck in the fridge (without any plastic wrap) for at least 48 hours to dry the skin and achieve a super crispy result.

    Enjoy it alone or with Mandarin pancakes, cucumbers, and green onions.

    13. Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings

    These Chinese-style chicken wings are marinated and baked to perfection in a sauce made with toasted sesame oil, garlic, honey, and hoisin.

    For the best results, marinate them overnight. But if you forget, marinating for at least one hour is better than not marinating at all.

    Once they're cooked, garnish with green onions, sliced chilies, and sesame seeds! You can serve them as an appetizer or main course.

    Go to recipe

    14. Scallion Beef Stir-fry

    This popular Chinatown dish is ready in about 45 minutes.

    To make it, marinate thinly sliced flank steak in a mixture of oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch for 30 minutes. Sear the beef in a hot wok, then add ginger, scallions, and a sauce composed of sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, hot water, and white pepper.

    Keep stir-frying until the sauce sticks to the beef and scallions, then enjoy!

    15. Vietnamese Beef Bowl

    Step aside pho; there's a new Vietnamese dish in town!

    This beef bowl is savory and sweet, with an assortment of fresh vegetables. It's the perfect, balanced meal for picky eaters!
