Sauce – Peking Duck Sauce

chinese-cuisineducksauce

I have just visited China (Beijing).

There I had Peking Duck which was wonderful. They served it with a sauce – sort of sweet, brown and thick. I was wondering if anyone has a name for this sauce as the people I was with did not know the name.

I really loved this sauce and want to use it with other things – any help on its name would be great!

Traditionally, the sauce combines several ingredients, one of which, as Bart mentioned, is Hoisin sauce. The other ingredients are:

  • Sesame Oil
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Dark sugar or honey
  • Water
  • Dark soy sauce.
  • Cornstarch

You can usually buy this at your local Chinese supermarket, but it's easier and more tasty to make your own.
