Hoisin sauce

Hoisin sauce is a thick, fragrant sauce originating in China. It features in many Chinese cuisines, but is most prominent in Cantonese cuisine. It can be used as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir fry, or as dipping sauce.

It is dark-coloured, sweet and salty.
Although regional variants exist, hoisin sauce usually includes soybeans, fennel, red chili peppers, and garlic.
Vinegar, five-spice powder, and sugar are also commonly added.
