Additional Info: Hoisin used to have seafood in it, but companies have since removed it to save cost.
Cheap oyster sauce doesn’t have oyster in it, so always check the label.
They also make a mushroom based “oyster sauce” for vegetarians/vegans.
But are they interchangeable? Kind of…
Hoisin is a lot sweeter and more spiced so kept that in mind if you’re switching them for one another.
Also, authentic Beijing style Peking Duck uses TIAN MIAN JIANG sauce. However, Hoisin is acceptable in most places
