Notes

This sauce is versatile and pairs excellently with pork, chicken, or tofu. Marinate your proteins overnight for enhanced flavor. If hoisin sauce is not available, plum jam or apricot preserves can be excellent substitutes. Brush the sauce on grilled vegetables or use it as a glaze to elevate simpler dishes. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks for the best freshness.
