We've been going to Tan Tan Deli ever since our first visit to Portland more than 10 years ago. Back then, we didn't know Lisa Tran who helps run her family owned business.
This year, we met Lisa for the first time during one of our trade events. We are grateful at how Lisa has been super helpful with her suggestions and tips to help with our business. We were thrilled when she agreed to let us sell her yummy Hoisin Sauce in our store!
What exactly is Hoisin Sauce? Hoisin is predominately made with soy beans and kind of like our chinese BBQ sauce with its sweet, salty umami nature. We like using it as a glaze for meat or a marinade. You can also add a dab of it for stir fries or as a dipping sauce.
