Make this Homemade Hoisin Sauce substitute in 5 minutes and forget the store-bought stuff. This sauce is perfect in Asian dishes as a dip or a glaze for meats or sauce for stir fry.

Drizzle this sauce on Korean Beef Tacos or use in place of teriyaki sauce in my Easy Chicken Stir-Fry.

This sauce is an Asian version of a barbecue sauce and is perfect with grilled or sauteed meats and vegetables. It’s thick, has a strong fragrance and salty-sweet taste thanks to peanut butter and brown sugar. This homemade version is simplified with common ingredients, you can find in your local grocery store. Jazz up your next Asian takeout dinner with this delicious sauce and never go back to the store-bought stuff again!

The best Instant Pot Baked Beans cooked in your pressure cooker! No soaking needed for this easiest, fail-proof recipe! This is a perfect side dish recipe for your next BBQ dinner.

We serve it with Easy Grilled Chicken or pulled pork and a side of baked potatoes.

Some of my favorite things to cook in my Instant Pot are bean dishes. I no longer buy canned beans because cooking them under pressure is so easy! Depending on the type of bean, in general, you can have a big batch of beans done in half an hour. My Instant Pot Black Beans cook in 25 minutes, the pinto beans for Instant Pot Refried Beans cook for 45 minutes. It’s just so easy! These baked beans cook in 33 minutes, for the perfect texture, and then simmer in the sweet sauce.
