Can we start a thread of favorite recipes using hoisin? I really like the that sauce :o)

REC: Thai BBQ Chicken

This recipe first turned me on to Hoisin sauce. I like my dark-meat chicken well done, so I love using boneless, skinless thighes and cooking longer than suggested.

REC: BAKED PORK RIBS WITH HOISIN BARBECUE SAUCE

BAKED PORK RIBS WITH HOISIN BARBECUE SAUCE
If you prefer to grill the ribs — which will intensify the hoisin flavor — remove them from the marinade (do not bake) and grill them over medium heat until tender and lightly charred, turning often and basting occasionally with marinade, about 25 minutes. Look for chili-garlic sauce in the Asian foods section of supermarkets.
4 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
1/4 cup Sherry
4 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil




Place ribs in large roasting pan. Pierce meat with fork. Sprinkle with Chinese five-spice powder and onion powder; rub mixture into meat.
Whisk remaining ingredients in small bowl to blend. Pour sauce over ribs, turning to coat. Turn ribs meat side down; cover pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake ribs, covered, until just tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and turn ribs meat side up; bake until ribs are cooked through, basting occasionally, about 35 minutes. Cut meat between bones to separate ribs and serve.

Makes 6 servings.
