Made with fermented soybeans, sugar, sesame oil, and savory spices, this sauce offers a complex, sweet, salty, deeply umami flavor that's a perfect complement to classic Asian dishes and fusion recipes alike. Because of its sweet and savory flavor, hoisin sauce is sometimes referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce." The sauce has a dark brown color and a thick consistency that's perfect for dipping, drizzling, or using as a sauce, marinade, or glaze. Packaged in a convenient 20 oz. squeeze bottle with a flip top lid, this vegetarian hoisin sauce is perfect for tabletop use and is easy to reach for when you're preparing dishes in the back of the house.

Hoisin sauce is particularly popular in Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisines, though it's widely used in cuisines throughout Asia and in fusion cooking as well. For traditional Chinese flavor, try using it as a marinade for meats like fish and pork, or offer it as a dipping sauce for Peking duck or handheld appetizers. If you're using gluten-free hoisin sauce in your Vietnamese establishment, offer it to customers to drizzle directly into their pho or use as a dipping sauce for the meats in pho. It is also an essential ingredient in peanut-based dipping sauce for spring rolls. Experiment with adding savory flavor to practically any dish by using gluten-free hoisin sauce as a marinade or glaze for meats, or drizzle it over stir fried vegetables to add salty, umami flavor to your culinary creations!

While running a humble tea and oyster soup shop in Guangdong, China, Lee Kum Sheung had a happy accident; one day in 1888, he simmered his oysters for too long. His normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick brown sauce with a rich aroma and an astonishingly complex flavor. Lee knew he had accidentally made something wonderful! He created the Lee Kum Kee brand to promote his newly-invented oyster sauce, and as the sauce's popularity began to grow, so did his company. Though today, Lee Kum Kee is an international brand that is well-known throughout China and around the world, this family-owned business has remained rooted in its beginnings as a simple company founded on delicious flavor. Lee Kum Kee offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese sauces and condiments and is constantly creating innovative new flavors that set the standard for great taste. Whether you're looking for authentic Chinese flavor or delicious condiments to help you keep up with industry trends, Lee Kum Kee offers something for every establishment.
