Hoisin contains Chinese Five Spice, rice vinegar and red miso which gives it its delicious sweet-umami flavour. In this dish, we're using hoisin sauce to add a sweet and salty depth of flavour to the clear broth alongside chicken and mushrooms.

The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
