Note
For a smoother texture, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve after simmering to remove any pulp or zest particles.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
Adjust the sweetness by adding a teaspoon of sugar or honey if the lemon flavor is too tart for your preference.
This sauce pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, tofu steaks, or as a dip for fresh spring rolls.
