Tân Tân Vietnamese Hoisin Sauce

$14.95

Product variants

Too many supermarket hoisin sauces come across as cloying—usually candy-sweet with an occasional aftertaste of unpleasant chemical bitterness. Tan Tan’s version of the classic Chinese fermented soybean condiment, however, yields the perfect balance of sweet, earthy and savory notes with an addictive umami core that adds even more depth. An elegant hint of anise floats in and adds aromatic, nuanced complexity, while garlic grounds the sauce without overwhelming its other flavors. It’s texture is satisfyingly syrupy, not too molasses-thick like some brands, and it’s made with no preservatives from a family recipe—the epitome of an elevated pantry essential.

Sugar, water, soybean, salt, modified corn starch, white distilled vinegar, molasses, sesame seeds, garlic, spices, citric acid, caramel color, licorice root, ginger

Incorporate into a glaze on anything from meat, to fish, to our Roasted Butternut Squash with Hoisin and Chives, or use it as the flavorful base of a dipping sauce: Simply add a dash of vinegar or citrus juice, salt and a spoonful of chili sauce or hot sauce and whisk in soy sauce or miso for a hit of savoriness. Freshen it up with lime and herbs like cilantro and basil and serve alongside steaming soups like traditional pho or our Vietnamese-Style Chicken and Glass Noodle Soup—the savoriness adds depth while its sweetness complements the meaty richness. It’s also ideal for dunking dumplings.

We recommend refrigeration after opening.

For over 20 years, family-owned restaurant Tân Tân Café & Delicatessen has been cooking up authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Beaverton, Oregon.

The eatery’s name means new beginning—a reference to owners Vinh and Mai’s arrival in the U.S. after fleeing Vietnam in 1976 after the fall of Saigon. They came to Oregon in 1981, with their daughter, Lisa, born in an Indonesian refugee camp, in tow. The restaurant team embarked on another new beginning in 2017, when the family launched a line of Vietnamese sauces based on the ones incorporated into Tân Tân’s dishes.
