S: 柱侯酱; T: 柱侯醬 (zhù hóu jiàng), in the West often rendered in pseudo - Cantonese as Chee Hou or Chu Hou Sauce is mostly used in Cantonese cuisine and is similar to the better known S: 海鲜酱; T: 海鮮醬 (hǎi xiān jiàng), hoisin sauce.
Although both are made from fermented soy beans, this one has different extra ingredients. These vary by producer - there is no standard recipe. Some ingredients in addition to the soy beans include salted lemons, plums, tofu, garlic and sesame.
Used in stir-fries and braised dishes.
