Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Simmer: Stir the mixture well and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
