Hoisin sauce, or Chinese barbecue sauce is an important cooking ingredient (as a meat glaze, in stir-fries) and table sauce in Chinese cuisine, in Vietnam, where it is a particularly popular condiment with beef noodle soup (pho), and is used, either by itself, or combined with peanut sauce, as a dipping sauce with salad rolls, and in Malaysia and Indonesia, where it is, along with peanut sauce, popular sauce with grilled meats and saté.
