Homemade Hoisin just leveled up my at-home dim sum experience! The secret ingredient to my version is @sunsweetgrowersinc Amaz!n Prune Juice #AD It might sound unexpected, but I took inspiration from the use of Chinese Dried Plums (Li Hing Mui) in braises and sauces. Just like the Chinese dried plums, prune juice adds a natural sweetness and brightness to balance overly savory flavors. When you reduce the prune juice with soy sauce, vinegar, and aromatics it becomes this delicious sweet and savory syrup! To give the sauce some body and a little more balance, blend it up with sesame paste, miso, and honey. You’ll want to drizzle this over everything making it the perfect #FeelGoodBrunch companion!

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine prune juice, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by at least half, about 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to fully cool. In a blender, combine sesame paste, miso, honey, and the cooled prune and soy syrup. Blend until very smooth. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
