Why This Recipe Works

Hoisin sauce is a thick, reddish brown mixture of soybeans, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and chiles used in many classic Chinese dishes. We use it as the base for a sauce for our pork, adding acidity with rice vinegar and aromatic notes from scallion and ginger. The ingredients simply need to be mixed together to create a sauce.

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together until smooth.
