Chinese BBQ Sauce

sweet chinese barbecue sauceThere’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… ginger and garlicshould be ready in five/ten minute.

Serve this sauce with fresh green onion garnish.

Chinese BBQ Sauce

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.

  • 1/4 Cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons dry sherry
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 5 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 small cloves of minced garlic (pressed in garlic press)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • One finely minced green onion

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients except oil and simmer for five minutes.
  2. Add sesame oil at end.
  3. Stir and serve.

    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.
