Wok Mei
Hoisin Sauce

Wok Mei Hoisin Sauce has a rich, savory-sweet flavor with notes of fermented soybean, sesame, garlic and spices. 

Often described as a Chinese barbecue sauce, hoisin adds depth, color and a distinctive sweet-savory finish without overwhelming the food around it.

Use it straight from the bottle for dipping, brush it onto meats and vegetables as a glaze, add it to stir-fries, or combine it with other ingredients to make marinades and sauces.

Gluten-Free: Made without wheat-containing soy sauce or other gluten-containing ingredients.

No Added MSG: Wok Mei does not add monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer.

No Modified Food Starch: We use conventional starch rather than modified food starch.

Balanced Sweet & Savory Flavor: Miso, sesame oil, garlic and spices create the rich flavor traditionally associated with hoisin sauce.

Produced in the USA: Carefully produced in the United States with domestic ingredients, in small, controlled batches.

8 oz Retail Size: Also available in larger foodservice and industrial sizes.

When grilling chicken, pork, beef, or fish, brush it on during the last few minutes of cooking. Its natural sweetness helps create a rich, glossy glaze, but adding it too early can cause the sauce to scorch.

Stir-Fries

Noodles & Rice
Stir a little into noodle dishes or fried rice when you want a richer, slightly sweet Chinese-style flavor.

Hoisin sauce is a thick, savory-sweet sauce traditionally used in Chinese cooking as a glaze, dipping sauce, marinade and seasoning.

Although it is sometimes called Chinese barbecue sauce, hoisin is much more versatile than barbecue sauce alone. Its combination of fermented soybean flavor, sweetness, garlic and spices makes it equally at home with roasted meats, stir-fries, noodles, vegetables and dipping sauces.
