History and Origin of Hoisin Sauce
Hoisin sauce is a traditional sauce originating from Cantonese cuisine in China, known for its sweet, salty, and slightly spicy flavor that complements a wide variety of dishes. Its name, "hoisin," literally means "seafood" in Chinese, although the sauce contains no seafood ingredients; this name refers to its original use for marinating or accompanying seafood dishes.
In Latin America, hoisin sauce does not have a distinct recognizable name in most countries, although it has become popular in gourmet and fusion kitchens, adapting to local culinary creations. It is also often used as a base for glazes on meats, especially in chicken and pork recipes, providing an intense and unique flavor.
This sauce has spread internationally thanks to the growing influence of Asian cuisine.
