Sentient Black Bean Hoisin Sauce
Hoisin Sauce
In cuisines over the world, sauces for grilled recipes are unique. This is a western version of BBQ sauce commonly used in Chinese cuisine, a thick, spicy, savory sauce made from fermented beans and spices used for glaze sentient versions that will transform your stir-fries!
When you make a homemade “veganice” version, you control what ingredients you use. It becomes easier to select healthier ingredients such as dark brown sugar or (honey), natural sesame butter, and a fresh fennel bulb to replace garlic in the original recipe.
Store-bought hoisin sauce always contains garlic, which is not sentient, and sometimes starches from wheat, making the sauce non-gluten-free. The umami hoisin sauce flavor comes from fermented beans. The truth is, it’s not easy to acquire the fermented flavor of this sauce when creating it by yourself, and perhaps the reason why most people go for the store-bought version. To acquire the fermented flavor, we use miso.
The most common type of miso is the one made from fermented soybean paste. Three main types of miso have different tastes. What is commonly referred to as miso is red miso or any dark-brown miso paste, such as what we use in this recipe. It is a tad salty with an intense umami flavor. Shiro miso, also known as white miso, has a lighter flavor as it is only fermented for a short time. The third type is yellow miso, fermented for a longer period than white miso but shorter than the dark variety.
Miso has gut health benefits from the fermentation process. It is also rich in protein and essential plant compounds that promote your heart health, lower blood sugar levels, and boost your immunity.
Our homemade Sentient Black Bean Hoisin sauce tastes 100% sentient and better 🙂 than the ones you buy at a store. Add a simple, subtle flavor to the dishes you want to use for your sentient stir-fries with this tasty sauce.
