Notes
This sauce can be altered easily by adjusting some of the key ingredients. To adjust the saltiness, adjust the amount of soy sauce. To adjust the acid level or twang, adjust the amount of vinegar. You can also adjust the sugar amount for sweetness, and of course, the amount of garlic for the “garlicky-ness”.
