Hoisin sauce…without FODMAPs? Yes!
When you have IBS you have to be very conscious of the ingredients you’re putting in your mouth so you can avoid, or plan for, potential consequences. Sometimes that means you have to make it from scratch. The trick is to make it taste so good, the whole family can enjoy it and you can do away with the packaged version all together. Hoisin sauce falls into that category. Recently requested by a client, this recipe is an example of a delicious, FODMAP-friendly alternative to packaged Hoisin sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This recipe makes 1/2 cup of low FODMAP Hoisin sauce. Double it and refrigerate in an airtight container up to three weeks if you use it a lot.
