Notes

  • Simmer gently rather than boiling to avoid bitterness.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Straining gives a professional silky finish but is optional.
  • The sauce develops deeper flavor if left overnight in the fridge.
  • Store in sterilized jars or bottles for longer freshness.
