Details

Add essential Asian flavor to a whole host of recipes with this Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce! Made with fermented soybeans, sugar, sweet potatoes, garlic, and chili peppers, this sauce offers a complex, sweet, salty, deeply umami flavor that's a perfect complement to classic Asian dishes and fusion recipes alike. Because of its sweet and savory flavor, hoisin sauce is sometimes referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce." The sauce has a dark brown color and a thick consistency that's perfect for dipping, drizzling, or using as a sauce, marinade, or glaze. Packaged in a convenient 5 lb. container, this hoisin sauce is a perfect way to ensure your establishment is in good supply of essential ingredients Plus, it's prepared without artificial flavorings or preservatives, making it a natural choice for your establishment.

Hoisin sauce is particularly popular in Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisines, though it's widely used in cuisines throughout Asia and in fusion cooking as well. For traditional Chinese flavor, try using it as a marinade for meats like fish and pork, or offer it as a dipping sauce for Peking duck or handheld appetizers. If you're using hoisin sauce in your Vietnamese establishment, offer it to customers to drizzle directly into their pho or use as a dipping sauce for the meats in pho. It is also an essential ingredient in peanut-based dipping sauce for spring rolls. Experiment with adding savory flavor to practically any dish by using hoisin sauce as a marinade or glaze for meats, or drizzle it over stir fried vegetables to add salty, umami flavor to your culinary creations!

While running a humble tea and oyster soup shop in Guangdong, China, Lee Kum Sheung had a happy accident; one day in 1888, he simmered his oysters for too long. His normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick brown sauce with a rich aroma and an astonishingly complex flavor. Lee knew he had accidentally made something wonderful! He created the Lee Kum Kee brand to promote his newly-invented oyster sauce, and as the sauce's popularity began to grow, so did his company. Though today, Lee Kum Kee is an international brand that is well-known throughout China and around the world, this family-owned business has remained rooted in its beginnings as a simple company founded on delicious flavor. Lee Kum Kee offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese sauces and condiments and is constantly creating innovative new flavors that set the standard for great taste. Whether you're looking for authentic Chinese flavor or delicious condiments to help you keep up with industry trends, Lee Kum Kee offers something for every establishment.

Haven't tasted yet, looks promising... But no plum puree. Very curious to see how that affects the flavor. Did get a little dings during shipping, but that's not normal for products coming from Webstaurant. They do a really good job of packaging their items so that they arrive in good condition.

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

i found this sauce/ingredient was a disappointment....to me it was almost pure fructose corn sweetener with an overlay of cooked garlic sort of flavor and red coloring....it didn't add anything to my dishes except sugar which i could get elsewhere from the sugar bowl....not reccommended

Black Bean Garlic Sauce

This Black Bean Garlic Sauce is by far the best one I've tried. It is very thick and rich, without being overpowering in dishes. Once heated up it thins out a little, and is very easy to mix into stir fry.

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

The best sweet chili for my Crab Rangoon recipe. I've tried others, I carry others for other items. But this is the ONLY sweet chili for my crab Rangoon pizza. I use it in the mix as well as a topping. My customers rave about this pizza. It's all in the sauce. I have gone to great lengths to find this sauce when others stop selling it. I've gone without my Crab Rangoon pizza because I didn't have this sauce. It's that good.

Hoisin Sauce

This is my favorite hoisin sauce by far! The flavor is great for stir fry, which is the way I always use it, but can also be used for dipping, or even as a glaze.

Plum Sauce

This stuff is delicious for dipping egg rolls and spring rolls in, and it is a great topping for Chinese food. It is sweet and tastes like plums, but it still goes great with savory food like meat and vegetables.
