INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, water, hoisin sauce, ginger, and sugar. Mix well, add additional hoisin sauce to thicken mixture to your desired consistency if needed. Cover the sauce, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors time to blend.
  2. Before serving, pour mixture into a small saucepan and heat. Serve warm.

Note

 Hoisin sauce , also called Peking sauce, is a thick, reddish-brown sauce that is sweet and spicy, and widely used in Chinese cooking. It's a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers and various spices. It can be found in Asian markets and many large supermarkets. Look in the Asian or ethnic section. If this item is not in stock at your local store, ask your grocer to special order it for you. Most grocers will be happy to do this for their customers.

I made this recipe as a dipping sauce for appetizer meatballs. I didn't have any hoisin sauce, so used extra soy sauce. I also used a few dashes of ground ginger and substituted brown sugar for the white sugar. I doubled the recipe and it was enough for the meatballs and potstickers I had the next night! Even with all my substitutions, this recipe was a hit! Thanks!

I loved this recipe, I served it with the Won Ton Snacks recipe I found here too, I did lighten it up with about a tablespoon more water and a dash of rice wine vinegar, I also added a teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds, and a very tiny amount of red pepper flakes, I think this would be great a little more spicy and served with Lettuce Wraps. Thanks for a great recipe.

I also used this with the won ton snacks along with the sweet and sour recipe and some peanut dipping sauce. Excellent sauce! Used rice wine vinegar rather than white. Really tasty!
