What about it, exactly? It's a very common Chinese sauce, most supermarkets would have it, and ANY Asian market would probably have 12 varieties. It's sort of like BBQ sauce is here - not in taste, just as in 'available anywhere'.

And it's good, but there are countless others..

That's hilarious. I was looking at the lettering on the bottle thinking 'that looks like Hebrew, why in the world...?' and they I sounded out the name and literally laughed out loud.

I make a recipe that is kind of like asian meatballs, topped with a little shredded cabbage or bean sprouts, and wrapped in flour tortillas. It came from Sunset magazine years ago. It's called Mu Shu Burgers.

In my mind, the "grown ups" eat it with hoisin sauce on the tortilla and the kids eat it with plum sauce (much sweeter, less complex.)

I'm still a child, apparently.

I do like hoisin sauce as an ingredient in many asian dishes though.

Oh darn, sorry guys. I forgot to write "substitute"

I meant to type: "Does anyone know a substitute for hoisin sauce" ?
Sorry 'bout that.

Tereyaki is similar - the Japanese version.

To make a substitute for Hoisin from scratch you would have to have at least some of the key ingredients...

You could sweeten and reduce soy sauce, simmering it with sugar and 5-spice powder, plus some extra garlic and chilli (powder or fresh).

Google 'hoisin substitute' - there are lots of ideas...

This recipe uses the juice from kidney beans!
