hoisin sauce
April 30th, 2009
You might not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes hoisin sauce but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat hoisin sauce or other high calorie sauces & ingredients every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want - without going crazy of course.
I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.
I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Hoisin Sauce
Source: AP Recipes, Dee Wang, wh advised using the first ingredient in each item where there is more than one listed o a line.
Yield: 1 serving
4 tablespoons soy sauce, (usual/dark/light)
2 tablespoons peanut butter/black bean paste
1 tablespoon honey/molasses/white or dark sugar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
20 drops Chinese-style hot sauce, habanero, jalapeno
1/8 teaspoon pepper
EXPERIMENT! Now you have control of the taste. Lighter for chicken and pork, stronger for beef and game. Sweeter for Dim Sum.
The commercial recipe is presumably the black bean paste. I presume they are the same as Mexican/Spanish black beans.
Different types of soy, molasses, some of the oil being hot pepper oil, other styles of pepper sauce. All kinds of variations. However, with light soy and honey, the taste of peanut dominates.
Simply mix together. At first it does not appear like it will mix but keep at it just a bit longer and you have Hoisin. Letting it rest does not appear to improve the taste.
