Hoi Sin & Garlic Sauce is less appealing to a lot of people than some of Blue Dragon's more richer and interesting sauces, again one sachet is supposed to feed 2 but unless you cook incredibly small portions, this seems a bit of an exaggeration.

Hoisin sauce is from the China/Vietnam region and is made up of vinegar, soy bean, garlic, salt, rice and green and red peppers, it's used for cooking meat. I used it with chicken but it didn't really seem to bring out the flavour, pork and duck are recommended accompaniments but having never tried the authentic stuff, I wonder if this is just a dodgy mixture. The garlic flavour is quite notable but most of all it's a little bit too salty. I urge you to refrain from salting your rice until you've tried this sauce before because so much salt may destroy the flavour of your meal.

Ideally, you'd like to add some vegetables to the mix but because the more food there to absorb this sauce, the less sauce you will end up with - so I'd probably only do it if you were using it for 1 instead of the recommended 2 people.

This is not one of Blue Dragon's best sauces but it's not the worst. Middle of the road.
