Note
This sauce is excellent as a marinade for meats or as a dip for steamed vegetables.
The use of English Worcestershire sauce is unconventional but reflects a willingness to adapt flavors; consider adding a splash if you desire a tangy depth.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a richer flavor, you can reduce the stock further by simmering it uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.
