Some Information:
Hoisin Sauce - A condiment used in Chinese cooking made from fermented soy beans. It is reddish brown and both sweet and spicy. Typical ingredients include soybean paste, sugar, garlic and vinegar. Use as a glaze for roasted meats, Peking Duck, marinades and stir-fry.
Sesame Oil - Sesame oil is made with sesame seeds which have been roasted which produces a very potent, flavorful oil. Sesame oil is used in many Asian recipes for salad dressings, marinades and numerous other uses. This oil has a low smoke point so it is not appropriate for frying.
