   4       tb           Soy sauce,(dark/light/usual)

   1       tb           Honey/molasses
   2       ts           White vinegar
     1/8   ts           Garlic powder
   2       ts           Sesame seed oil

  *The original without the variations stolen by Matt
  Giwer from AP Recipes credited to Dee Wang who advised
  peanut butter. *EXPERIMENT!  Now you have control of
  the taste.  Lighter for chicken and  pork, stronger
  for beef and game.  Sweeter for Dim Sum. *The
  commercial recipe is presumably the black bean paste.
   I presume they are the same as Mexican/Spanish black
  beans. *Different types of soy, molasses, some of the
  oil being hot pepper oil,
  other styles of pepper sauce.  All kinds of
  variations.  However, with  light soy and honey, the
  taste of peanut dominates. *Simply mix together.  At
  first it does not appear like it will mix but   keep
  at it just a bit longer and you have Hoisin.  Letting
  it rest does   not appear to improve the taste
  noticeably.
