That does seem a high price for 4oz! Where on earth did you buy
it? I paid under $2 for 11 fl oz (15 oz by weight) at the Kam
Sen supermarket in Rockville, MD.

This reminds me of the time, nearly 50 years ago, when the New York
Times printed a recipe for making ketchup. I decided to try it.

It was very good--almost identical to Heinz, I thought. The problem
was that it cost about $8 for an amount only slightly more than a
Heinz bottle.

The moral of the story is that making it yourself doesn't always save
money.

The bottle is clearly labelled "Hoisin Sauce" and I know Oyster
sauce; it's not the same thing at all!

I agree, James. AND - I have a Lee Kum Kee 20 oz. bottle of Hoisin sauce I
paid $1.59 for. That's rather inexpensive, IMO.

Damn! you got 6oz more for the price I paid. Yeah, pretty cheap.

WOW.....Gosh, your so informed....Had I known then, I never would have
bought it.....Sorry to hear that.....I'm just so depressed now, that I'll
just have to dump the remains of what I have stored.

I think you mean Koon Chun brand. It may be that cheap since it
was the subject of counterfeiting:

First there was counterfeit Huy Fong sriracha, now hoisin sauce?
Those Chinese manufacturers are scoundrels. Next: Counterfeit
Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce.

We keep a bottle of Hoisin sauce around here. Rarely gets used. We mostly

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

Thank you Mathew for the recipe. That was all I was looking for; not to
start this controversy.

I'd be very curious to hear how it turns out, tomato and beef broth
sound very untraditional.

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.
