Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the authorized distributor for Lee Kum Kee in Canada?
Chicken Pieces is the exclusive distributor for the Lee Kum Kee 20 oz. Hoisin Sauce professional 12-case line in Canada. Ordering through the authorized distributor ensures you receive factory-fresh inventory with fast domestic shipping and eliminates the risk of cross-border customs, duties, or unexpected brokerage fees.
What is the flavor and texture profile?
Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce is a savory, sweet, and spicy condiment made from a blend of fermented soybeans, sugar, garlic, vinegar, and five-spice powder. The texture is thick and smooth, providing a professional "glaze" that clings to proteins and vegetables without running, offering a deep umami finish and a mahogany-colored sheen to dishes.
Is this Hoisin Sauce Vegan and Vegetarian?
Yes. This is a primary search for 2026 plant-based menu development. Unlike some oyster sauces, Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it 100% suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian diets. It is a staple for "Mock Duck" dishes, tofu stir-fries, and as a savory dip for veggie spring rolls.
What are the primary back-of-house applications?
This "Chinese BBQ Sauce" is highly versatile. Chefs frequently use it as a traditional dipping sauce for Peking Duck and Mu Shu Pork, a high-heat marinade for ribs and chicken wings, or a flavorful base for house-made Pho dipping sauces. It also serves as a robust foundation for modern Asian-fusion burger spreads and taco drizzles.
Does it contain MSG or artificial colors?
No. To meet the 2026 "Clean Label" demand, this specific Lee Kum Kee formula is made without added MSG and contains no artificial colors or flavors. This allows operators to market "Clean Ingredient" Asian-inspired dishes to health-conscious diners without sacrificing the authentic, traditional flavor profile.
Does it need to be refrigerated after opening?
For professional food safety and peak flavor retention, it is highly recommended to refrigerate the bottles once the seal is broken. While the high sugar and salt content provide some preservation, refrigeration prevents the delicate garlic and five-spice aromatics from oxidizing, ensuring the sauce stays bold for up to 6 months.
Why choose the 20 oz. squeeze bottle over bulk jugs?
The 20 oz. plastic squeeze bottle is designed for speed and precision on the line. It is easier for cooks to handle during a busy rush compared to heavy gallon jugs, reduces the risk of cross-contamination from dipping spoons, and fits perfectly into standard prep-table rails. The 12-case format ensures a fresh rotation of product for high-volume service.
How does this product fit into 2026 beverage and snack trends?
A breakout trend for 2026 is "Savory-Sweet Umami Snacking." Professionals are searching for ways to use Hoisin as a glaze for "Hoisin-Maple Smoked Nuts" or as a bold, savory addition to specialty "Asian Mary" cocktail mixes. Its thick consistency makes it an ideal "sticky" carrier for spices on roasted snack items.
What is the shelf life of a 12-case bundle?
Unopened bottles are shelf-stable for up to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place. The 12-case format is the mission-critical size for medium-sized restaurants, providing a cost-effective bulk solution while ensuring the inventory moves fast enough to stay within the peak flavor window.
