Cooking Tips

• This sauce comes together quickly, so it's best to have everything prepared.
• If you prefer a warm sauce, you can transfer it to a small saucepan and gently heat it over low heat. Be cautious not to overheat, as this sauce is meant to be warm, not hot.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
• Hoisin BBQ sauce is a versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled meats, as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, or as a glaze for roasted vegetables.
