hoisin sauce

We love this delicious sauce on everything. It’s wonderful as a dip for meats, veggies, fondue and mixed with balsamic vinaigrette as a salad dressing too.

In the bowl of a blender, combine:

1/4 cup ponzu sauce OR lite soy sauce

2 Tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter or miso paste

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 Tablespoon coconut sugar, brown sugar, or honey

1 large garlic clove, minced

2 teaspoons Sriracha, or your favorite hot sauce

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice powder or 1/8 teaspoon each cinnamon and cloves

Pulse until all ingredients are mixed well and smooth. Pour into a glass canning jar with a tight fitting lid. This sauce will keep in your refrigerator for up to a month.

Enjoy!
