Is this on the spicy side? I have kids that like spicy and some that want bland.

sorry but I don't cook Asian food. could I leave out the chinese chili sauce? I'm assuming that is what makes it spicy. I really want to try this. I'm hoping to start adding asian food to my cooking. so far it is all out of the box. in the form of some sort of premix.

thanks

The hoisin sauce is gonna make it spicy too.My dh loves its on sandwiches too but it is to hot for me.I would leave that out and maybe do have the chili sauce.Or you could put a tiny bit of the hoisin sauce to have the flavor from it still.
