Note

Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving if desired.

Variations: For a sweeter profile, add a tablespoon of honey. For a thicker glaze, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the simmering sauce.

Substitutions: Use apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar for a fruitier note. Swap soy sauce for tamari to keep it gluten-free.

Tip: Freshly minced garlic and ginger provide the best flavor. Avoid using pre-minced jars if possible for a brighter taste.
