It sound a atrocious. The main ingredient in hoisin is fermented
soybeans (black beans). Which that recipes seems to be lacking.

The real answers were going to a store that sells it cheaper
and/or buying it in bulk - both of which were suggested here with
specific brands and a local place where to purchase it.

perhaps the o.p. is looking forward to the coming nuclear holocaust.

Better have plenty if hoisin ready for that!

The general idea is - you cannot make good hoisin sauce at home. So
instead the suggestion was to find a cheaper source instead of making
it yourself.

Have you tried that recipe and if so how did it turn out?

You made me wonder about it and I did a a Google sauce for
"hoisin sauce" recipe.

There are a *lot* of hits but I did not see anything in the
first few to make me think it is not a vegetarian condiment.

I tried this recipe. It turned out OK. But the texture was of a thick syrup
like honey instead of a jelly like texture out of a jar. Taste a bit
different too. Some recipe call for fermented black bean paste. I'll try the
half beef broth and half bean paster first the all bean paste and see how it
turns out.

We'll keep you all infromed.

8 ounces beef broth
4 ounces soy sauce
4 ounces dry sherry
2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a 4 cup glass microwaveable container and stir
well.
Cover with plastic and cook on high power for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes or until
thick
until thickened.
This makes about 1 3/4 cups of sauce.
If you need more increase the ingredients proportionally or make several
batches

How do you make hosin sauce at home. It's very expensive for a 4 oz jar
we
paid $3.49.

I also realize that some people are too fat to stand (Winston Churchill: Why
stand when you can sit.) These are the people that will drive SUV's and Ford
250 truck to go get a carton of milk a block from their house.

It is not about how cheap one can make a sauce at home, it's about if it can
be done at all.

And by the time he buys all the extra ingredients to make this
home-made hoisin (which will taste nothing like what he was
after), he will have spent, and wasted, 4x as much as his 4oz
bottle.

Again - hoisin is something you pay $2 for an 8oz jar (or $6.50
for a 5lb can, as another poster mentioned). And he has a
perfectly good oriental grocer well within driving distance to
his office.

I understand that logic isn't some people's strong point.

It certainly can't be done with that recipe.

More importantly, IMNSHO, can it be done better, by ones own criteria?
