Meishi Hoisin sauce is a Cantonese style thick fragrant sauce with a sweet, garlicky taste. Use as a glaze for meat, in stir-frys, or as a luscious and rich dipping sauce. It has a very strong salty and slightly sweet flavor. Hoisin sauce does taste a bit like an American-style barbecue sauce, but much saltier, richer, less sweet, and has a flavor all its own. Meishi hoisin sauce is also used to make a dipping sauce for Vietnamese spring roll and other similar dishes. In cooking, it can be used for glazing broiled chicken.
