I think I’ll test this thought by using Sweet Baby Ray’s for my stir fry beef tomorrow.

[-] Alto@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago

I've done similar before. It works far better than it should.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

How do you extract just the sweet rays from the babies?

[-] Seventhlevin@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

No, you don't understand. These are merely normal rays being extracted from sweet babies.

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago

Hoisin is bbq sauce, sure. But I don't see how it's sweet baby Ray's in particular.

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

What are you talking about exactly?

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 months ago

He’s saying they’re very similar basting sauces from distant cultures.

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Ah okay, I thought maybe people were eating baby rays (manta, sting, etc ..)

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

They have very a similar flavor, so much so that id say they're basically interchangeable

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Damn, wish I knew that before I went to the store for hoisin sauce a few weeks ago lol

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 9 months ago

Plum sauce is made from plums.

Duck sauce is made from ducks.

Hoisen sauce is made from hoisen.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

Is that in the plumbus family?

[-] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 9 months ago

I've made baby back ribs with hoisin sauce. They were alright, but an actual bbq sauce is much better.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Is hoisin based on apples?

[-] moody@lemmings.world 2 points 9 months ago

It's soybean-based
