I was apparently making some non-paleo recipes recently, using hoisin sauce without realizing that it wasn’t paleo friendly. Rather than forego recipes with this delicious Chinese barbecue sauce, I whipped up my own and have a bunch stored in my fridge and freezer right now.
This is pretty easy to make actually and requires no cooking, so as long as you have the ingredients on hand, you can quickly combine this with any recipe to replace the hoisin sauce.

Very good! I added a couple dashes of Fish Sauce and 1/4 tsp of Chinese Five Spice Powder, used Almond Butter, and used Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar instead of white. Used as a marinade for a pork roast which came out amazing. Thank you. I will make this often.
