For a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Adjust the sweetness and tanginess to your preference by adding more sugar or vinegar, a teaspoon at a time. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Experiment with adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve this sauce with stir-fries, egg rolls, or as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets.
