Hoisin sauce, or
Haixian Sauce, (
hǎixiānjiàng) also called
suckling pig sauce, is a Chinese
dipping sauce. The word
Hoisin is a
romanization of the
Chinese word "" as pronounced in
Cantonese. Despite the literal meaning of "
seafood,"
Hoisin sauce doesn't actually contain fish. It is similar to the
sweet noodle sauce made from fermented
soybeans, but has the added ingredients of
garlic,
vinegar, and
chili peppers. Additionally, it tastes less pungent than sweet noodle sauce. Mandarin-style Hoisin sauce ingredients include water, sugar, soybeans, white distilled vinegar, rice, salt, wheat flour, garlic, and red
chili peppers, and several preservatives and coloring agents. Traditionally, Hoisin sauce is made using
sweet potato.
