Chie's Low-Sodium Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin sauce is one of the saltiest Asian flavors, with 1 tablespoon containing roughly 258 mg of sodium. This CKD-friendly recipe contains significantly less sodium and preservatives than store-bought. This is the perfect companion for pho and can also be enjoyed as a dipping sauce or glaze on a protein of your choice.

Chef Chie's Notes

A little goes a long way. Refrigerate after use & store in an airtight container. Good for roughly 1 month, but trust your taste buds if something's off.

Chie recommends repurposing a thoroughly washed BPA-free vessel for your homemade kalamansi butter, whether that be a mason jar, Bonne Maman jar, or a glass Pyrex container.
