The beauty of this sauce is that you can use it to baste salmon shrimp or chicken, dress Asian noodles, use as a dipping sauce or any other application that calls to you. You can substitute the gochujang for another Asian chili paste, but I would recommend you get your hands on some gochujang. The flavors are so amazing.
Makes about 1 cup of sauce
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons (or more) gochujang (Korean Chili sauce)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated ginger
Combine all of the ingredients and let sit for a few minutes before using.
To make an Asian Peanut Sauce, eliminate the sesame oil and stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter.
