Lee Kum Kee Lime Cilantro Flavored Hoisin Sauce, 20 Ounces, Zero High Fructose Corn Syrup or Artificial Flavors (Pack of 6)

Shoppers looking at this item will likely be asking themselves the same thing I did when I saw this on Amazon: "What on earth am I going to do with all of this sauce?"You cook like hell and get creative is what you do. Once you taste it, you will find things to use it for. While there are better, richer, and ultimately more expensive hoisin sauces out there, Lee Kum Kee brand's ultimate strength is in inexpensively lending itself to being a solid, yet mutable base for flavoring your dishes and soups. Add some onion powder to make a great barbecue sauce alternative. Some rice wine, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes for a unique marinade that has punch. With sesame oil for a great stir fry. By itself as a dipping sauce for steamed buns. You get the idea.I've made a lot of great dishes in the time I've had this sauce, from hoisin infused meatballs, hoisin+honey glazed slow roasted pork shoulder, to just being a simple flavoring for Vietnamese pho noodle broth. You will find many great things to use it for too if you are adventurous and have the pantry space. It's very easy to work with and modify to your taste.Six 36 ounce bottles is a lot of sauce. But it beats paying upwards of $5 a pop for small dinky and dusty bottles at the supermarket, particularly if you don't have any asian stores where you live. Never cooked asian food before? It's ok, this is where you begin.

I use hoisin sauce in many recipes as a key base ingredient. Mix in some garlic and ginger and a good soy sauce like sempio 501s and you have a great flavor base or combination for any asian cooking application. Be aware the 36 ounce container is a net weight not a fluid ounce size. Hoisin sauce is heavy by natural weight of ingredients and if you use it frequently this size may not be as much as you think. There is approximately three 8 fluid ounce cups per 36 ounce bottle. I just used an entire bottle making a marinade and a dipping sauce at one shot. This sauce is very good tasting and fits the bill nicely. The price is not too expensive nor is it cheap, it is reasonable. The bottle is plastic and squeezable and much easier to deal with than those ubiquitous small overpriced supermarket glass jars. Since the sauce is so heavy and slow moving like heavy ketchup try upturning the bottle so the sauce sinks to the cap when it is upside down and you will get the last drop. Good sauce, good value....recommended

My family and I are obsessed with this sauce and use it all the time when making stir fry. When we first bought it in bulk, we joked that the 12 bottles would probably last us a lifetime, but here we are, buying it in bulk once again

It has a awesome taste the only thing I want to know from looking at these two pictures of the sauce are they the same thing because I ordered one and got it with a different label so some please tell me thanks

I go through a ton of hoisin sauce, and this is my favorite brand. It is way cheaper to buy it in bulk through amazon than through a grocery store. Great taste and great bang for your buck.

The caps on the bottles were fractured or broken. the inner seals were intact. when I use them I will need to figure out how to cap the container. do you have replacement caps?

I have really enjoyed Hoisin sauce for years. There is a tremendous difference in the taste of various brands. Some have almost no 'Hoisin flavor' and some have a lot. Some are spicy and some not. To me this is non-spicy, which I like because I do not tolerate spicy (hot) foods. The 'Hoisin flavor' is mild. It tastes like sweet and sour sauce with some added 'Hoisin flavor'. I like it but wish the 'Hoisin flavor' was stronger.I first ordered the 3 smaller bottles and they arrived fine. 3 of the 6 larger bottles leaked in the box and made a big mess.

My wife decided at that last moment that she was going to put a dish together for our guest the very next day. The product was not available locally, so I went to Amazon and found every item that was needed to prepare the dish. Again, because of Amazon's shipping options I was able to receive the ingredients on time for the evening of the meal. Did I pay more, yes. Did I need as much as it came packaged, no. But it worked out because, I expected to pay more for our mistake of not having on hand the proper ingredients, plus our guess liked the meal and we were able to share the extra quantity with them, along with the receipt, so it all worked out.
