Hoisin Beef Tacos
with Bell Pepper and Baby Gem
Thick and fragrant, hoisin sauce is widely used in Chinese cuisine. This flavourful sauce contains Chinese Five Spice, rice vinegar and red miso which gives it its delicious sweet-umami flavour. Hoisin sauce is a perfect match for rice and noodle dishes or even as a flavour driver in burgers or bao buns.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
