How to Make Mock Hoisin Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, rice vinegar for tang, soy sauce for saltiness, or chili garlic sauce for heat.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes). The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using or storing. Enjoy!
