Note
The original instructions listed "1/4 tsp crushed red chillies" as a step. This has been moved to notes as an optional variation. Add this to the sauce for a spicy kick if desired.
Storage: Keep the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The fresh lime juice and garlic mean it is best used within a few days for optimal flavor.
Substitutions: For a vegan version, replace honey with agave nectar or maple syrup. You can also swap fresh coriander with cilantro or green onions depending on your preference.
Tip: If the sauce separates after sitting, simply give it a quick stir or shake before serving.
