Homemade Hoisin Sauce

Add date paste, peanut butter, maple syrup, and molasses to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. 2. Add all other ingredients except the cornstarch and mix until combined, or blend everything in a food processor until smooth. 3. For a thicker sauce, add the ingredients with the cornstarch to a saucepan, bring to a simmer, and cook on low heat for about 30 seconds. 4. Taste and adjust with more soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, or hot sauce as needed.
