Note
This sauce works excellent as a marinade for tofu, chicken, or scallops. If marinating, let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for best flavor penetration.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The flavors will meld and improve over time.
For a gluten-free version, ensure you use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
