Great recipe as is, but I started adding some oyster sauce.  It adds some saltiness and kicks the flavours up.  Delicious!

I cut the soy sauce in half and it's great!

Homemade Hoisin Sauce Recipe

(60 milliliters) soy sauce

(30 milliliters) peanut butter (smooth, natural)

(15 milliliters) honey

sesame oil (toasted)

(15 milliliters) molasses

garlic (minced)

sriracha sauce

five-spice powder

black pepper

(30 milliliters) water

Prepare Your Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out into small bowls or cups. Mince the garlic cloves finely using a garlic press or sharp knife. Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature so it blends more easily. If your molasses has thickened in the bottle, warm it slightly by running hot water over the container.

Combine the Base Ingredients

Place your small saucepan on the stove over low heat. Add the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, and molasses to the pan. Whisk continuously as the peanut butter begins to soften and incorporate. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching or separating the ingredients. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth with no peanut butter lumps remaining.

Add the Aromatics and Spices

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Add the minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and black pepper. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown or burn, as this will create a bitter taste. The mixture should start smelling incredibly aromatic at this point.

Incorporate the Finishing Touches

Remove the pan from heat to prevent overcooking. Stir in the rice vinegar and sesame oil. Add the sriracha or hot sauce to your desired spice level. Mix everything together until fully combined and glossy. The sauce will look slightly thin at this stage, but it will thicken as it cools.

Adjust Consistency and Taste

Add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition. Stop when you reach your preferred consistency. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more honey if it's too salty, more soy sauce if it's too sweet, more sriracha for extra heat, or more vinegar for tang. Remember that the flavors will deepen as the sauce sits.

Cool and Store

Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Let it cool to room temperature before sealing. The sauce will thicken considerably as it cools. Once cooled, store it in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before each use as some separation is natural.
