HOW TO USE HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make a dipping sauce for Vietnamese spring rolls. The spicy-sweet flavor of hoisin sauce makes it a tasty dipping sauce for your favorite Vietnamese spring rolls. You can serve hoisin sauce for dipping by itself, or mix it with an equal amount of peanut sauce for a more traditional spring roll sauce. Feel free to play around with the amounts of peanut sauce and hoisin you mix together to create a custom blend! You can make hoisin sauce yourself, or buy the canned or jarred sauces that are sold at most grocery stores.
• Mix hoisin sauce into ground beef or turkey for Asian-inspired burgers. After stirring in the hoisin, proceed with creating and grilling your hamburger patties like you normally do. Hoisin sauce packs a flavorful punch, so start with small amounts and experiment until you find a ratio you like best. If you want to increase the Asian-inspired flavor of your burgers, try adding some freshly chopped ginger, green onions, and a dash of red pepper flakes to the meat before forming your patties.
• Use hoisin sauce as a glaze on baked chicken wings. You can use the sauce by itself for a simple glaze or try adding a small amount it to your favorite glaze to give it a little extra kick. Brush the glaze onto the chicken wings and arrange the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake the wings at 400 °F (204 °C) for about 40 minutes. If you're following a specific recipe for your wings, adhere to the oven temperature and cook time suggested.
• Add hoisin sauce in your favorite stir-fry recipe. Hoisin sauce works wonderfully with all kinds of stir-fry dishes. Add it to the wok while making your favorite beef, chicken, pork, tofu, or veggie stir-fry dish for a spicy-sweet kick. Try substituting hoisin for some of the soy sauce in the recipe, or simply use it alongside the soy sauce. You can also serve the sauce on the side with any stir-fry meal you like for drizzling or dipping.
• Use it as a dipping sauce for French fries or wings. Hoisin sauce can provide an Asian-inspired flavor to any of your favorite dipping foods! Serve the sauce on the side with French fries, wings, chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and any other savory food you typically use a dipping sauce with. Buy jarred hoisin sauce when you want to use hoisin as a dipping sauce. The bottled variety usually has a thin consistency and won't work as well as a dipping sauce.

STICKY HOISIN RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas 3.
• Sprinkle the ribs with the five-spice and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub all over. Arrange the ribs in a large roasting tray. Break apart the garlic bulb and scatter over the unpeeled cloves, then halve and add the oranges.
• Cover the tray tightly with tin foil, and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 hours, or until tender and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the salad, trim the spring onions, radishes and fennel, and deseed the chillies, then finely slice it all lengthways and place into a bowl of ice-cold water to make it super-crisp. Pick in the coriander leaves and put aside.
• Make a quick salad dressing by mixing the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and soy together. Peel and finely grate in the ginger, then taste and season to perfection with black pepper.
• Remove the tray from the oven and move the ribs to a board. Carefully squeeze the sticky orange juice back into the tray. Squeeze the soft garlic flesh out of the skins and mash it up, scraping up all the sticky bits from the tray.
• Place the tray over a medium heat on the hob or over your barbecue, let it start to bubble, then pour in the hoisin sauce. Let it tick away for a few minutes, or until thick and shiny, then remove.
• Now, dunk each rack of ribs in the glaze, using your woody herbs as a brush to generously coat them all over, and transferring to the cool side of the barbecue as you go. Cook for another 10 minutes or so, covered with the air valve open.
• Meanwhile, cook the jasmine rice according to the packet instructions, then fluff up and divide between your plates. Drain and dry the salad veg, then toss with the dressing and plate up. Pile the sticky ribs on top, get stuck in, and get messy!
