I made my own Hosin Sauce. For 1/2 cup INGREDIENTS: 4 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons peanut butter or black bean paste 1 tablespoon honey or molasses or brown sugar 2 teaspoons white vinegar 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons sesame oil 20 drops chinese hot sauce, habenero or jalepeno 1/8 teaspoon black pepper DIRECTIONS: Simply mix together. At first, it does not appear like it will mix but, keep at it just a bit longer and you have.

I've made this for dinner twice now and I love the taste of it. Yes the "sauce" is kinda chunky to work with (even with creamy peanut butter), so I might add the water as other reviewers have suggested. I didn't have cayenne pepper this time, so I replaced it with crushed red pepper and some black pepper - just as good to us! Obviously if you aren't a fan of peanut butter this isn't the dish for you, but as I love it, it's a keeper!

Way too thick - Following the directions exactly did not make a good sauce. Like others, I had to add a lot of water to make this work.

excellent!!! My husband begs me to make this all the time, though now that I'm on a diet, it's really not on the menu! But definitely a dish I'll cheat for! :)

I enjoyed the dish. Because the sauce was thick I added chicken broth. I also added onions and carrots.

very tasty.. I added some snow peas and water chestnuts to this, but agree with everyone else that the sauce was very very thick.. I thinned with rice wine vinegar.. yum

Now I can make one of my favorite thai takeouts at home. Use crunchy peanut butter and toss with rice noodles to make "peanut noodle". I too had to add about 1/4 cup of water to the sauce. Also, next time I will probably cut the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon...a full teaspoon comes out a strong "medium" on the thai restaurant spicy scale.

Tasty, easy. Like many other reviewers, I added some water to the sauce and made it on the side. Will definitely make again.

Everyone loved this. I did make a few modifications, I mixed the sauces together and found that it was just too thick so I ened up adding 3/4 cup of water to the mixure and cooked probably for 5 min. I was also added red onions to the mixture since I was out of scallions.
