This is a chinese (bean based, I think) sauce.  Look in the oriental
foods section of your local supermarket.  It is pronounced "hoi-shin"
where "hoi" rhymes with "oi" (as in oil), and "shin" is pronounced
half-way between "sin" and "shin" (most Americans pronounce it "shin").
Taste the stuff before using it since some people have a stronge dislike
for the stuff.
