Notes

Feel free to add a pinch of ginger or chili flakes for a flavor boost. Adjust the sweetness by varying the sugar or using a natural sweetener like maple syrup. Save any leftover sauce to drizzle over roasted vegetables or to use in scrambled eggs for breakfast. Pair with steamed broccoli or jasmine rice for a complete meal. For a healthier alternative, consider using tofu or cauliflower for a vegetarian version. Enjoy experimenting with the recipe!
