Hoisin sauce is the taste you have in most Chinese food.

I like it in moderation. Too much is terrible so don’t add extra.

This is a fast stir fry to serve over rice.

6 tablespoons oil

1 1/2 pounds bite size boneless chicken

! pound raw small ,peeled and deveined shrimp

6 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup chicken broth

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon sesame oil

8 tablespoons Franks Spicy Sweet Chili Sauce

5 diced scallions

8 cloves chopped garlic

1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups chopped bok choy

One diced red pepper

2 cups sugar snap peas

2 thin sliced carrots

1/2  to 1 cup peanuts or cashews

Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Add the cut up chicken

Heat the wok with two tablespoon oil and stir fry the chicken till done

Set aside

Place the shrimp in the 2 tablespoons cornstarch and  one tablespoon soy sauce

Heat two tablespoon oil

Add the shrimp and stir fry till cooked

Set aside

Place the last 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan and start stir frying first the garlic and carrots then the broccoli, ginger, red pepper  sugar snaps and  white part of the scallions.

Cook till everything changes color and still crunchy.

Set aside

Mix the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Franks and sesame oil together then add the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Bring the sauce to a boil and it will start to thicken up.

Do not let it start to reduce.

Take it off the heat and add the chicken and shrimp

Mix well

Put back on the heat

Add the vegetables and toss to coat everything

Heat till everything is warm

If it starts to thicken too much add a little more broth

Top with peanuts and scallion greens.  You could add fried dried hot chili peppers to spice it up.

I usually double this sauce recipe because I love sauce.
