Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Collect all the ingredients listed above and ensure they are within reach.
Step 2: Mix the Base. In a mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Stir them together until well mixed.
Step 3: Add Sweetness and Acidity. Next, add in the honey and rice vinegar. Whisk until the honey is fully incorporated into the sauce.
Step 4: Infuse with Flavor. Add the minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, and ground ginger to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust. Give your sauce a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey. For more acidity, a splash of rice vinegar works wonders.
Step 6: Store or Use Immediately. You can use your Chinese BBQ Sauce right away, or transfer it to a storage container for later use.
