We were smoking Marlin today. I used Hoisen Sauce to baste the Fish. I brushed on a coat every 30 minutes of the 6 hour smoking process. Absolutely delicious!!!! Not too sweet, very nice compliment to the smoked fish flavor. Great Video, Thank You!!!
This man is a great educator! I wonder why he has a few subscribers? He deserves 100k or more! Thank you very much sir for the detailed explanation. You shared jewels of knowledge and wisdom especially in stir fry cooking style. Just subscribed to your channel.
Short attention span audience; most want an instant answer; not a history lesson and anecdotal stories; which is a lost art; I am grateful for his teaching style; Thank You Mr. Tak ,
@@copperlocks1 Could be. I love that he gives a bit of the history. He's easy to understand, has a calm manner and pleasant voice. He's a Chinese Max Miller [Tasting History] cum Lao Tsu. I'm surprised that the Algorithm didn't present his channel to me. If I hadn't been sorting through sites for oyster sauce uses, I wouldn't have found him!
He needs to post constantly and use tons of hashtags and whatever algorithm voodoo. He should make shorts for each video and have his fulll featured videos linked for those of us who appreciate his long video
I recently discovered Hoisin sauce and absolutely love it and use it whenever possible. And now that I found your channel, I am learning from a true Master Chef. Thank you Sir!
I enjoyed your explanation. I cook for a family member who can't have wheat and have used gluten-free hoisin sauce as a dark soy substitute and sweetener. Glad to know my instincts were on the right track. Thank you.
I thank you, Tak!! Southeast Asian cooking has become my VERY FAVORITE Cuisine, after being stationed in Nakom Phenom, Thailand, and Nha Trang, Vietnam, for about 2 years, courtesy of the United States Air Force!! LOL!! Sauces are deliciously flavored, with lots of veggies, and not 'meat-centered'. HEALTHY EATING! Tak, I am looking forward to MANY MORE OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS!
You are a very likable guy. Greetings from Savannah Georgia USA 🇺🇸 Thank you for this video, I have never tried hoisin sauce and I am very excited now to do so.
While my husband loves my homemade sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce is my favorite. I use it as a cooking sauce, over fried rice, and as a dipping sauce when I stir-fry chicken (dusted lightly in corn starch and Tak's special seasoning mix).
I have that huge bottle of hoisin sauce you showed. I love it! I can’t get enough of it, ever since I was little girl. I can’t live without it as an absolutely must have kitchen staple, and I use about 3/4 of the 36oz bottle every month. I eat it with noodles, pork, fried chicken, char siu, and many, many other things.
I remember my Grandfather with the way or manner you talk. Your gestures and calming tone, pace and voice. I subcribed and be looking forward for more. Xie Xié
Thank you very much. I have just found your channel, and have adopted some of your ideas to delicious effect! I look forward to seeing and trying more.
Very interesting! When I was young, one of our neighbors was an old diplomat (& his wife) from the Republic of China...Mr. & Mrs. Si...who fled China to the US when the communists took over. As they were from N. China, I'm sure that the meals they served us were very different than than Cantonese style which was all that was available in US-Chinese restaurants at the time. It didn't occur to me that I was eating something rare here at the time. And, for years, Cantonese style was all I ate of Chinese cooking. Years later, my uncle Lou, who lived next to NYC Chinatown took me to a new restaurant, there, called the Dumpling House...where I first ate Moo Shu Pork and was reintroduced to N. China cuisine...and I've been in love with it ever since (together w/ Szechuan & Hunan styles).
I have tried many of your templates. They all turned out great. Thanks to you I cook more Chinese food now. It's much cheaper and better than going out to eat. All of your videos are very helpful. Thank you. We have a local Chinese restaurant that makes their own duck or plumb sauce. I would love to try to make one. But don't know where to start.
Great to hear! I definitely would like to help out in coming up with a duck dish. Please tell me more what you are looking for in flavor and texture of the duck. You can write me at wokwithtak@gmail.com. Thank you for your comments!
I use hoisin fairly often. It's great with salmon. I like your theory of the name origin. It's a great dipping sauce for seafood, but also in stir fry for sweetness and all its complex flavor - in moderation.
Very informational video; just something I was looking at at the moment. I knew I'd subscribe to this channel the moment I played it. Subscribed!!! Easy win!!!
I Love this Video. I bought this sauce and plan to use it on my stir fry chicken , i Will add it as extra season to ground beef for making Jamaican Patties. I Will use it on fry chicken tenders wraps. Thanks so much for the history on this sauce. I Love using it.
Hoisin sauce, I have no idea how to use it but I will put it in a wish list of recipes so to say. I'm a beginner at really learning how to cook so this intrigued me.
Thank you for your explanation. Actually I had no idea what hoisin sauce is. I thought cooking sauce for sea food by name. Now I know and loved the idea using substitute of sugar or as teriyaki sauce. I really like it and followed your channel.
Just found your vid. Great. Love Asian food making my stir fry tomorrow. Our children enjoy my different foods of this kind. Went to an Asian grocery today and bought several bags of different sauces, and packs of Szechuan hot seasonings. Fla. USA🐻
I have been using it as a base for sauces thank you for explaining the sauce and its use. Have you ever made a mandarine orange based sweet sauce for egg rolls if so please share it with us. A first generation family Chinese restaurant would make it and it was so much better than plum or duck sauce but when the grandfather died it died with him. We lost a good man and the best dipping sauce i ever had.
I use hoisin sauce and oyster sauce and soy sauce and sweet chili sauce and I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m watching you to figure out what it is. I love Thai food and Chinese food and would love to do it at home but I just stumble through it. Keep teaching me thank you.
Hi, as may know if remember me lol, love hoisin and oyster sauce, I assumed hoisin was a Mongolian type sauce til found out many uses, we have a multi culture Chinese restaurant and a favorite is "Mongolian beef" unlike anywhere else. It's made with beef, onion slices, 2" chopped scallions, and a broth made with hoisin. Another restaurant had Cantonese beef and scallions also had hoisin, onion, scallions but thick sauce and topped with a coarse pepper, whenever we go out (rarely now) I ask and they give their version which is fresh cuz chef creates it on the fly lol. I make the Mongolian way and use beef broth. Now learned a lot from you ty. America makes Americanized Asian dishes, I have some books on the original versions, and good, definitely healthier. Tyvm tc
@@cyclopsvision6370 I know lol. That's what was trying to say. It's called that but I love Mongolian beef and there's no broth or hoisin.. it's really good but not Mongolian beef. Don't know why they call it that? Seems like every restaurant plays to American flavors, very few traditional Asian restaurants that are authentic.. my comment was to point this out. Ty
Good video! I just bought a bottle of hoisinsauce and I didn't like the taste at all. Maybe I need to make a complete dish with it to appreciate the flavors? How much do you need to add?
Excellent video, as are all your instructional videos. I love the flavor profile in Hoi sin sauce but, in some dishes, it has a tendency to overpower the flavors of that dish. Fried rice is a good example.
every time i eat peking duck, i reminded of my aunts chinese friend, they have a chinese restaurant in west palm beach florida and they served me some peking duck with that soft flour shell and it was amazing. they even packed me a lunch bowl to eat on the train home, i didn't even know what was in it until i opened it, it was a crispy roast pork, peking duck and some vegetables and rice, i kinda felt bad for the people on the train they might have caught whiff of that goodness
Dear Tak, thank you for your videos, I discovered you when I did a search for corn starch vs potato starch and I’ve now just watched 4 of your videos. I’m wondering if there is a good brand of hoisin sauce you can recommend, I use Koon Chun brand, but was wondering if there is a better brand.
My friend Jack will use hoisin sauce when he has fajita. Instead of using cheese and salsa, he will substitute them with cucumbers and scallions with whatever meat that he might have used otherwise. He can alternate between Mexican and Asian style with his tortillas.
My in-laws have a congee restaurant and my favourite is assorted(I dont usually have anything other than the congee but it tastes better sitting with stuff in it) but my favourite way of eating it is with a yu tiao and a swirl of hoì sīn sauce. I did think that with it being hoì sīn that it was sweetened oyster sauce, interesting that it's not!

thank you so much! what is the main difference between char siu sauce and hoisin sauce?
Good vibe, nice info. Thanks Tak.
Best information ever got for hoisin sauce. Tq Mr Tak.
I always wondered what flavor that was with peaking duck and now I finally figured it out. Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.
appreciate the tips and the history lesson aswell 🙏
I used it in the shrimp fried rice I made last night. Tasted pretty good.
big fan of your channel 👌👍🇬🇧
This video sounds like a training video for an upscale restaurant, very professional 👍
Love this man's explanation
Very systematically said👍 super info. Thank you tak. And tak mean actually thank you in my language😊
Thanks for all your explanations, great video!
👍
Thanks for the detailed background information and stories with your posting.
Love your vids, good to see you're still doing them!!! And the sauce is uber too :D
Ahhhhhhh. Wish i would have came across your 🎥 before i went to the store. Thank you so much for the explanation be blessed.
You are so welcome
Good video! I just bought a bottle of hoisinsauce and I didn't like the taste at all. Maybe I need to make a complete dish with it to appreciate the flavors? How much do you need to add?
Good information I like to use it a lot but I did not know what kind of dishes fit in
Thanks for sharing your knowledge I admire it 🙇🏻♀️ now I separately know it thanks sir ❤️
I've tried the KFC wrap as mentioned in the video when I visited China and it was sooo good with the hoisin sauce
Super. Merci beaucoup
Excellent video, as are all your instructional videos. I love the flavor profile in Hoi sin sauce but, in some dishes, it has a tendency to overpower the flavors of that dish. Fried rice is a good example.
I used it in egg fried rice its really good

My Favorite Chinese Dish is Peking Duck :) it's my Favorite dish From My childhood :)❤❤
Very interesting
Most informative! Thank you.
Outside of soy and sesame I guess this is the next step in broadening the pantry as far as flavoring asian dishes. thanks!
very very imformative..!! ty.
I love Chinese food
Dear Tak, thank you for your videos, I discovered you when I did a search for corn starch vs potato starch and I’ve now just watched 4 of your videos. I’m wondering if there is a good brand of hoisin sauce you can recommend, I use Koon Chun brand, but was wondering if there is a better brand.
Thank you for this Valuable Video! I can't wait to Cook with my Hoisin Sauce!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thanks for the information my friend. I look this up because I'm experiencing with Lumpia an needed a different sauce.
i would love the recipe for the childhood noodle dish please
Hoisin sauce is also used at many Vietnamese restaurants when eating Pho 🍲 adding in the desired amount at the table.
It is crucial for Phô!
It comes as a dipping sauce along side of a hot sauce (like salt & pepper) in the Cambodian restaurants up in Lowell, MA
And I also Love the Wan Tan soup :) also my Lovely dish from my childhood :) ❤❤
Swag like wan tan soup
Thank you for the info! I learned so much!
You are most welcomed!
Great video, Tak. And nice shirt!
Many thanks!!
Wow, great insight!
Hoi sin sauce is one of the greatest ever. great video, but wow on tacos?! I will have to try this idea... I trust you!
My friend Jack will use hoisin sauce when he has fajita. Instead of using cheese and salsa, he will substitute them with cucumbers and scallions with whatever meat that he might have used otherwise. He can alternate between Mexican and Asian style with his tortillas.
Outstanding!!
My in-laws have a congee restaurant and my favourite is assorted(I dont usually have anything other than the congee but it tastes better sitting with stuff in it) but my favourite way of eating it is with a yu tiao and a swirl of hoì sīn sauce.
I did think that with it being hoì sīn that it was sweetened oyster sauce, interesting that it's not!
Thank you!
Thankyou Tak for knowledge
