Hoisin sauce is kind of high in carbs. a 2 tsp serving, according to the
jar I have, is 25g. Along with the chili sauce, this might be more than
a lot of DMs can handle.

That sounds like a mistake. 1 tsp of table sugar is 4g carbs. So 2 tsp
of sugar would be 8g. Two *tablespoons* of sugar would have 24g carbs.
As the hoisin sauce has more ingredients than sugar, I'd be really
shocked if it had the same carb content. And, in fact, according to the
USDA database, 1 tbs of hoisin sauce has 7g carbs. Still carby, but not
as carby as your bottle would indicate.

Checked the bottle again and that's what it said. It's imported.

I use Steel's - made with Splenda. Cooks fine, dips fine, tastes
great.

Hong Kong.
The ingredients list begins with sugar, sweet potato, fermented soybean
paste... Maybe they meant tablespoon but printed teaspoon.

The good news is that it has no MSG and no preservatives .

I use a teaspoon of it in sauce for egg foo yung and that sauce is
shared between both of us with some left over.

The egg foo yung is a great treat for us for dinner. Something oriental
without high carbs and lots of nice veggies.

Since it is brushed on at the end, it doesn't have to be a lot of sauce.
I regularly use various sauces when I grill that rarely add more than
5gm of carbs per seving YMMV depending on how much you choose to use and
whether you let the sauce drip down onto the coals or somehow manage to
get all of it on the food.

If that amount of carb bothers you, use low carb hoisin. I import mine
from the US - Steels brand.

OTOH, I frequently use just a teaspoon of molasses in recipes - the
dense smoky sweetness goes a long way without adding a lot of carbs.

If you are looking for something less carby than Hoisin sauce for
Asian-flavored chicken wings try this recipe. We love them!
