I feel so dumb because I got this by googling "hoisin sauce" so I can hardly take credit for it. I only modified it a little. I spread it on home made pizza dough and then top with pineapple tid bits, chicken, and a little finely sliced green onion (chives) or red onion; whatever is on hand. It's SO good.
Hoisin Sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic oil*
2 teaspoons sesame oil
20 drops hot sauce (I use tabasco or what this site calls tonic)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
A dash of white sugar
*I buy minced garlic in the big jar, so it has a lot of garlic oil juice in it, so I just use that.
Using all natural smooth peanut butter is best as long as it isn't too oily, but JIF would probably work, too. It doesn't look like it's going to mix at first, but just keep stirring and stirring and it'll come together. And it tastes best after it cooks (I think) but my husband says it tastes the same...
Sesame Peanut Sauce
1/4 cup broth*
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/8 cup soy sauce
1 T honey
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup toasted peanut pieces
* I use broth from whatever I am cooking (usually chicken) or just coconut milk or canned broth if I am serving it over tempeh or something without broth.
This is modified from Food Network. For this one, just make sure you mix all the ingredients and then stir in the sesame seeds and peanuts last. Toast regular plantars (or whatever brand) peanuts under the broiler for a few seconds. And this is very good on a cold chinese noodle salad (or spaghetti), with water chestnuts and mandarin oranges and cabbage.
And on a side note, sometimes I just slather tempeh in all natural peanut butter and fry it and serve it over rice. I add a little ACV sometimes. Y'all enjoy!
