Boneless chicken thighs are becoming commonplace at most butchers now, gaining popularity as a juicy alternative to white meat cutlets which tend to dry out if not cooked properly. Glass noodles are also called rice sticks. They are made from rice and are very easy to prepare.
A dark, thick, sweet, and pungent Chinese condiment aka Chinese barbeque sauce, hoisin sauce is popular in Asian cooking, especially in stir-fries and marinades. It’s a mixture of soy bean paste, garlic, vinegar, chilis, and sweetener. Hoisin sauce is characterized by its strong salty and slightly sweet flavor. For a gal who can’t get enough of the sweet and salty flavor combo (chocolate covered pretzels are my fave!), hoisin sauce is right up my alley. A superb glaze for fish and meat, it’s also a great secret ingredient for dipping sauce.
