Easy soy sauce and hoisin sauce

These dipping sauces are so easy to make and they add a great flavor to Thai rolls or sushi.

When I made my first Thai rolls, these were the sauces that we used for dipping and since the combination was successful I use them every time I cook Thai rolls and  the soy sauce dipping is perfect for steamed buns too

You can make the sauces 1 day before, the longer the better so the flavors are very well combined.
