Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Ginger     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Honey     Shallot     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons hoisin sauce*
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup minced shallot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients except sugar in a bowl.
  • Cook sugar in a dry heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully pour in hoisin mixture (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Serve with shrimp, swordfish, pork, or chicken.
  • Our two favorite brands are Koon Chun and Lee Kum Kee, both from Hong Kong. We found them in New York's Chinatown, but they're also available by mail order from Uwajimaya (800-889-1928).
