Trader Joe’s Hoisin Sauce 10.23 oz

A Rich, Versatile Vegan Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin sauce is often associated with a Cantonese word for seafood, but this sauce contains no seafood and is traditionally made without animal-derived ingredients. Its name reflects the rich aromas and umami depth it brings to the table, while the sauce itself is known for sticky sweetness, savory character, and a smooth, velvety texture.

Trader Joe’s Hoisin Sauce is made for us by a supplier in Thailand, beginning with fermented soybean paste, black sesame paste, and brown sugar. Aromatic spices such as star anise, garlic powder, coriander, and Szechuan pepper add warmth and complexity to every spoonful. The result is a full-flavored vegan condiment that is much more versatile than a single pairing.
