1 x 400g (14oz) can hoisin barbecue sauceCHINESE BARBECUE SAUCE
The epitome of all Chinese sauces and one that many, if not all of us, know and love across the world. This sauce works really well as a marinade; I also enjoy it as a dipping sauce.
1 x 400g (14oz) can hoisin barbecue sauce
1 x 400g (14oz) can yellow bean sauce
1½ tbsp Chinese five spice
4 tbsp Chinese rice wine
1.5 litres (6 cups) vegetable stock
From the store cupboard
5 tbsp white sugar
Put all of the ingredients into a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes and then remove from heat.
Once fully cooled, pour the sauce into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week, or pour into individual ice-cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, place the cubes into a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Allow 2–3 cubes per portion, which can be reheated from frozen.
