I didn’t have hoisin, or it might have been better. It stuck a little around the edges. I feel like it has potential.
I added cornstarch (slurry of 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water) at the very end to thicken the sauce, which I highly recommend.
This was disappointing. Not a lot of flavor and the sauce wasn't thick enough to coat the noodles. I ended up adding a tablespoon of tahini and another tablespoon of hoisin to give it some body and flavor.
