Hoisin Marinade Recipes

HOMEMADE HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, hot sauce, garlic, and black pepper together in a large bowl.

GRILLED HOISIN BEEF

Steps:

• Whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut skirt steak crosswise into about 4 or 5 smaller pieces. Transfer steak into marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate; marinate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Line a baking pan with paper towels. Transfer pieces of steak to the paper towels and mop off some of the marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer steak pieces to grill. Cook to medium rare or medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces might finish earlier. Transfer steak to a warm plate. Let rest for a few minutes.
• Transfer steak to a warm serving platter and pour any accumulated juices over skirt steak. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

SPICY HOISIN MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

• Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.

SPICY HOISIN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk together ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Arrange meat in a shallow nonreactive dish or resealable plastic bag. Add marinade; rub gently into meat. Cover; refrigerate for length of time specified below, turning meat occasionally.
• Before cooking, remove the meat from refrigerator and let it come to a cool room temperature. Cook as desired, basting with marinade during the first half of cooking to create a glaze. Garnish with scallions.

HOISIN SAUCE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cook the chicken. In a medium skillet, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Submerge the chicken breasts in the stock, then reduce the heat to low and poach until the meat is completely cooked through and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Let the chicken stock cool and reserve for another use.
• Make the pasta. In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. Season the water with salt until it tastes like sea water. Plunge the pasta in the water and cook until cooked but still chewy ("al dente"), 4 to 6 minutes. Place a colander in the sink. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times to remove excess water. Spread the pasta on the towel so it cools more quickly. Gently use a second towel to cover and pat the pasta dry. (Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have a full flavor effect on the noodles.)
• Make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and hot sauce. Adjust the seasonings. Stir in half of the scallions. Set aside.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved water if necessary. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta. Top the pasta with the reserved sesame seeds and remaining scallions.

SPICY HOISIN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 scallions (white and green parts thinly sliced; chop 1 extra for garnish), 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon crumbled dried chile or red pepper flakes, and finely grated zest of 1 orange in a nonreactive bowl. Cook meat as desired, basting with marinade during first half of cooking to create a glaze. Makes enough for 2 1/2 pounds of meat. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.

HOISIN-MARINATED FILETS MIGNONS WITH NECTARINE SALSA

Steps:

• Make marinade:
• Finely chop scallion and in a bowl whisk together with remaining marinade ingredients.
• In a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine marinade and steaks, turning steaks to coat with marinade, and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate steaks at room temperature 1 hour.
• Make salsa while steaks are marinating:
• Finely chop nectarine and bell pepper. Seed and finely chop tomatoes. Thinly slice white and pale-green parts of scallions and mince garlic. Wearing protective gloves, discard seeds and ribs from chile and finely chop chile. In a bowl stir together all salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare grill.
• Remove steaks from marinade, discarding it, and grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer steaks with tongs to a platter and let stand 5 minutes.
• Serve steaks with salsa.
