  • 1/4  cup soy sauce
  • 1/4  cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4  cup cornstarch

Directions

  1. In small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sriracha, ginger and garlic. Set aside.
