Hoisin Sauce
A sauce that is commonly used in Chinese cuisine, hoisin sauce is thick and fragrant. Its origins are unknown and the word hoisin means seafood, but this sauce does not contain any seafood and is not often consumed with seafood either.
There are of course a lot of variations of this sauce, but the main ingredient is fermented soybeans. Aside from this, the possible ingredients can be fennel, red chilli, salt, sesame seeds, garlic, vinegar, five-spice powder and sugar.
Five-spice powder is an oft used mixture that also varies but generally is a concoction that includes star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and fennel. Other mixtures of it can include ginger root, nutmeg, turmeric, Amomum villosum, cardamom, liquorice, Mandarin orange peel or galangal. Just this bit alone can change how the hoisin sauce tastes, to give context of the possible flavours of the resulting sauce.
