Directions
Hoisin Barbecued Game Hens With Stir Fried Vegetables, This makes a flavorful, home-made hoisin marinade/sauce. I’m sure it could be used for more than just game hens. Naturally, you should adjust the vegetable choices to suit your family. I made extra marinade when I made this to have some for serving. From The Wine Lover’s Cookbook by Sid Goldstein. Prep time includes marination time., This was DELICIOUS! I love hoisin sauce, and this homemade version was wonderful. The only problem we had with this recipe was the five spice powder. I don’t know if it’s just the blend we have, but there was too much licorice (anise) flavor. I think if we made this again, I would either drop the amount to a mere 1/2 teaspoon, or leave it out altogether. We did make a couple of substitutions, but nothing that would have drastically altered the recipe. 🙂 We used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of game hens, and used napa cabbage for the green cabbage (which might be what you intended anyhow). Just so other know, used about the amount of veggies listed and 5 chicken breasts, and it fed 4 hungry adults and 2 hungry kids (with rice and a salad). Wonderful recipe, thank you for posting!
