This recipe is a great way to enhance store bought hoisin sauce.  Hoisin is a Chinese BBQ sauce that is thick and on the sweet side.  In this sweet and spicy plum hoisin sauce recipe, the addition of fresh plums which are a little tart, the spicy Momofuku and some salt, give you that great sweet, spicy and salty flavor we all love.  This is amazing on chicken, pork and steak.  I’ve also used it right on the bottom of tacos and pita bread with hot chicken or steak strips (kind of like Peking duck).  So, so good.  If you like more heat, just add more of the Chili Crunch.
