What can I do with all of those packets of Duck Sauce that I get from the Chinese food delivery?

I don't want them to go to waste, and they keep sending me more. We don't really care for duck, but I'd like to have some good ideas on how to otherwise use them.What can I do with all of those packets of Duck Sauce that I get from the Chinese food delivery?
Hoisin-Based Dipping Sauces

Hoisin’s main claim to fame comes from its being brushed on the Mandarin pancakes served with Peking Duck and Mu Shu Pork, two classic Beijing restaurant dishes.



As a dipping sauce, hoisin-based sauces can be used in place of plum sauce. In fact, plum sauce gets its nickname, “duck sauce” from the fact that westerners initially confused the two, believing plum sauce was served with Peking Duck.

Since hoisin sauce is quite thick, it is frequently thinned with a bit of water and/or sesame oil before serving. Other seasonings may include sugar, garlic, ginger and chili oil.

Serve with:



Chinese pancakes, steamed buns

Meat, particularly chicken and pork (I like to use it as a marinade for chicken thighs – the thighs are placed in a zipped-lock bag with the hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, refrigerated and marinated for 2 hours).

Stir-fries, deep-fried food, grilled satays and noodles (Add during cooking or serve at the table)What can I do with all of those packets of Duck Sauce that I get from the Chinese food delivery?
