It is one of the standard sauces used in Chinese cooking. You can probably
find it at your friendly neighborhood Chinese grocery if your local supermarket
doesn't stock it (around here, almost all the larger stores have it). It
comes in jars or cans. I pronounce it "HOY-sin", and haven't confused
any Chinese restaurant waiters too badly yet.
