There’s something exotic about a good Hoisin Sauce. It’s hard to tell what ingredients make it so unique. The soybeans? Garlic? Plums? It’s the Chinese ketchup and it’s the starting point to making our U.S. knock-off of a Chinese BBQ Sauce.
The fresh ingredients make this sauce really zippy. I mean if you put fresh garlic, Hoisin, and fresh ginger in my Elmer’s Glue I would probably eat it… but in this blend of fresh sweet and tangy ingredients it’ll make you want to eat it like soup. But save some for everybody.
This Chinese BBQ Sauce Recipe is especially good on chicken and nice and sticky for spare ribs. Another good thing is it wont have to simmer long… 
should be ready in five/ten minute.
Serve this sauce with fresh green onion garnish.
This American version of a Chinese BBQ Sauce has a freshness you can't get in bottled brands that comes from the sherry, fresh ginger, and garlic. Perfect to give an average backyard cook out a bit of an international flair. For a dynamic dipping sauce add one and a half tablespoons of smooth peanut butter.

Have a nice day
I made this tonight and it was quite good. I’m going to try it again and puree in some caramelized onion and a few chipotle peppers for smokiness. Its plenty sweet and bright but lacks depth.
Thanks for the feedback… sounds like a good addition
