Hoisin (pronounced "hoy sin") sauce is a dark brown, goopy, sweet sauce
most commonly encountered near your mooshu pork.  (it's the stuff you
put on the pancake before you add the mooshu)  You should be able to
find it at a good "gourmet" section of a grocery store, or in a Chinese
food market.  If you can't find one, try asking at one or more of your
favorite Chinese restaurants.
