The Ingredients
Ground Chicken. Ground chicken is speedy cooking, gentle, and it will absorb the kind of the sauce without overwhelming it. Great!
Hoisin + Soy Sauce. The sweet, tacky, pungent, and umami base for our sauce. Consider hoisin as sweet Asian bar-b-que sauce (YUM!). I utilize low sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium levels lower, yet tamari or coconut aminos can likewise be utilized.
