Looks like Hoisin.

>>19800510
It's probably hoisin sauce mixed with soy

>>19800522
>>19800523
No, I already tried that, hoisin even without soy has way more of a sour/fermented taste.

duck drippings, soy sauce, vinegar, the essential chinese 5 spices, and idk what else. if you want to make your own or experiment, you will need to add mushroom or chicken boullion powder with msg. it must have msg.

>>19800510
Have you asked?

>>19800580
They barely speak my language and are hostile towards the locals. Very "order and go" attitude. Won't even let you ask for the usual spicy sauce they usually have in Vietnamese places.

>>19800555
I already bought all the one they offer but they don't import much here other than various kinds of hoisin sauces.

>>19800548
No irony taste

>>19800579
Didn't think of MSG that's probably a big part of it. Damn.

>>19800510
Peking duck sauce

Chinese it's probably oyster sauce but it could be hoisin sauce mixed with soy sauce, sugar, salt, msg, white pepper, shaoxing wine, and sesame oil
Just going by some standard brown sauce ingredients

>>19800598
Fuck those faggots. Go back to your shithole country

But I am in my own shithole country. The great Chinese dragon honors us with opening their restaurants to launder Chinese organized crime money.

>Peking duck sauce
That's typically hoisin sauce.

>>19800510
It’s sounds like ponzu sauce, other than the part about fat separating

possibly an XO style sauce

>>19800735
Never had Ponzu sauce but doesn't it taste citrusy? There's no citrusy flavor to it.. I think.

>>19800510
Have you tried asking them directly? They might just let you know.

>>19800774
Theyll never tell, it's the secret sauce.

>>19800780
Probably true also, even if they could speak properly they wouldn't say. Especially not to me, they know I'm an addict.

>>19800771
I thought that’s what you meant by sour. But yea it’s citrusy so probably not that.
If it’s separating as it cools it probably has some kinda stock in it

Soy sauce
Sugar
Vinegar
(Regular vinegar)
Garlic
Cornstarch
Dark soy sauce

It's a ready made mix of all the basic things you throw in a stir fry for the sake of convenience. Mostly light soy, a little dark soy and oyster sauce, sugar, salt, msg (or "chicken powder"), white pepper, cornstarch and some water to let it down. You effectively deglaze the pan with it. The thing you won't really be able to replicate is the little bit of seasoned oil used repeatedly in parfrying a ton of food that ends up in the final sauce. You can make something passable by deep frying a bunch of alliums and straining out the solids, make a couple cups worth and the oil will store in a jar for a month for stir frying and dressing dishes.

For how inconsistent they seem to be it sounds like you've found yourself a real "hidden gem", as the kids used to say.

Based professional elite chef. This guy got it for sure, even then deep fried aliens.

Sounds like hoisin

>>19801285
Grey aliens taste like octopus.

>>19801303
Wish hoisin was good. Took me two years to get through the bottle.

>>19801315
It's nice on a cheesesteak

I always discard the brown sauce they give in Chinese restaurants and cover the duck meat with my own chilli sauce that I carry with me everywhere. If it's not spicy, I'm not eating it.

It's common Chinese BBQ sauce.
Or Char Siu sauce. Most Chinese BBQ places have a sauce like this.

Hoisin
Rice Vinegar
Sugar
Oyster Sauce
Sesame Oil
Five Spice
Etc

Many variations. You can buy commercial versions in a jar, but restaurants usually make better sauces.

in the hong kong movie Taxi Hunter (1993), one of the police detectives is crazy about shrimp dipped in some kind of chili soy sauce. any ideas what this could be, dete/ck/tives?

>>19800510
It’s probably just their version of a seasoned soy sauce. Which is just something that Chinese restaurants make in order to save time and effort. It’s literally just soy sauce with a bunch of other common Chinese cooking ingredients mixed in. I’m guessing that whatever you got had at least sugar, oyster sauce, rice vinegar and some fat like sesame seed oil or duck fat mixed into it. Crackers call it brown sauce. Watch this video for more info.

Nobody has said anything about black vinegar yet. Op try buying 7 different new vinegars.

>>19800510
I don't really know, but I'll tell you how to make soy sauce good for dipping. You start by watering it down, and adding a few tbsps of sugar and stir. Maybe you could try experimenting by adding in red pepper flake, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, something like that.

>>19801993
That looks like normal soy sauce to me, where's the chili?

>>19801155
Bought it for lunch today and looks like this is all correct, except I can't taste the soy much even if I try to detect it. Really feeling the MSG and cornstarch especially.

>>19801311
WHAT?
Get the fuck outta Dodge.

This stuff is really good and STRONG.

Is it made of shark oil?

This is called duck sauce. Here is my recipe:

2 tbsp sweet bean paste (tianmianjiang), 1 tsp dark soy sauce, ½ tsp shaoxing wine, and ¼ tsp of ginger juice. Add to medium heat pan with small amount of peanut oil, add 1.5tbsp sugar and sprinkle of MSG and heat until incorporated and shiny.
