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!

INGREDIENTS:

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.

4 Tblsp gluten-free soy sauce

2 Tblsp creamy peanut butter

4 Tblsp maple syrup (pure/real not pancake syrup)

1 tsp sesame oil or toasted sesame olive oil

1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil

2 ½ tsp rice vinegar

¼ tsp star anise

Ground chilies or low FODMAP hot sauce to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Mix together all ingredients with the exception of the chilies or hot sauce.

Taste, and make any modifications you feel you need to achieve the taste you’re looking for.

Add the hot stuff to your taste.
