Hoisin is a staple in a lot of Chinese cuisine, but is not exactly in line with the paleo diet, as it traditionally contains, legumes, soy, and gluten (and sometimes even MSG). We decided to take on this condiment and clean it up, and we’re very pleased with the results. You’ll even find a few recipes on our site that take advantage of it.

Not to mention this is super easy. Find a jar, add the ingredients, and shake it like a Polaroid picture. Done and done.

Ingredients

8 Tbsp coconut aminos

4 Tbsp almond butter

2 Tbsp pure honey

4 tsp coconut vinegar, or apple cider vinegar

1/4 tsp garlic powder

4 tsp sesame oil

5 drops of Dave’s Insanity Limited Edition Ghost Pepper Sauce, or other hot sauce

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 pinch white pepper

Method

Combine all ingredients in a jar.

Shake until well mixed.

This makes about 1 cup of sauce. We used 2/3 of it for our Boneless Pork Ribs with Paleo Hoisin Sauce. It’s finger-lickin’ good!
