I think I’ll test this thought by using Sweet Baby Ray’s for my stir fry beef tomorrow.

I've done similar before. It works far better than it should.

How do you extract just the sweet rays from the babies?

No, you don't understand. These are merely normal rays being extracted from sweet babies.

Hoisin is bbq sauce, sure. But I don't see how it's sweet baby Ray's in particular.

They have very a similar flavor, so much so that id say they're basically interchangeable

Damn, wish I knew that before I went to the store for hoisin sauce a few weeks ago lol

I've made baby back ribs with hoisin sauce. They were alright, but an actual bbq sauce is much better.

Is hoisin based on apples?

It's soybean-based
