Changes & Advice
You may add a dab of spicy sauce or additional red pepper flakes if you’re a fan of a little more heat. Consider adding a little amount of sesame oil if you want a richer taste. Try adding some freshly squeezed lime juice for a tangier sauce. Additionally, honey or agave syrup may be used in place of brown sugar if you’re careful how much sugar you consume.
