      Title: Hoisin Sauce
 Categories: Sauces
      Yield: 1 servings
      4 T  Soy sauce,(dark/light/usual)
      2 T  Peanut butter/black bean paste
      1 T  Honey/molasses
      2 t  White vinegar
    1/8 t  Garlic powder
      2 t  Sesame seed oil
     20 dr Chinese-style hot sauce
    1/8 t  Black pepper
  *The original without the variations stolen by Matt Giwer from AP Recipes
credited to Dee Wang who advised peanut butter.
  *EXPERIMENT!  Now you have control of the taste.  Lighter for chicken and
pork, stronger for beef and game.  Sweeter for Dim Sum.
  *The commercial recipe is black bean paste.
  *Different types of soy, molasses, some of the oil being hot pepper oil,
other styles of pepper sauce.  All kinds of variations.  However, with light
soy and honey, the taste of peanut dominates.
  *Simply mix together by hand.  At first it does not appear like it will
mix but keep at it just a bit longer and you have Hoisin.  Letting it rest
does not appear to improve the taste noticeably.

three full days at room temperature. Stir the mixture once a day.  It will
bubble and rise. When you are ready to make the injera, add the baking
soda and salt and let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes. Heat a small,
nonstick 9-inch skillet. When a drop of water bounces on the pan's
surface, take about 1/3 cup of the batter and pour it in the skillet
quickly, all at once.  Swirl the pan so that the entire bottom is evenly
coated, then return to heat. The injera is cooked only on one side and the
bottom should not brown. When the moisture has evaporated and lots of
"eyes" appear on the surface, remove the injera. Let each injera cool and
then stack them as you go along. If the first injera is undercooked, try
using less of the mixture, perhaps 1/4 cup, and maybe cook it a bit
longer. Be sure not to overcook it. Injera should be soft and pliable so
that it can be rolled or folded, like a crepe.
MMMMM
