Need A mixture of onion, carrot, ginger, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the water you could follow this main course with the Watermelon-Peach Slushies as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 30 minutes.

Instructions

In a small saucepan or skillet, combine half the garlic and the hoisin sauce. Over medium heat, reduce the sauce until thickened and beginning to turn syrupy, 2-5 minutes depending on the pot used.
