something like hoisin
i made salad rolls tonight, which i have done many times before. usually i use hoisin sauce from a jar, but although it tastes good, i've always thought it probably had a ton of corn syrup in it, and didn't feel very good about using it. so tonight, i decided to make something similar with better quality ingredients. although i'm sure there are recipes for homemade hoisin on the 'net, i didn't bother to look them up, since i was more interested in concocting something to my liking than being true to the flavor of hoisin.
so here's what i used:
- natural peanut butter and honey, melted together in the microwave for 30 sec.
- brown rice vinegar
- toasted sesame oil
- a pinch of sea salt (probably could omit, due to the tamarai)
- a very small amount of tamari sauce
