Instructions:

- For a bit of sweetness, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
- If you like a bit of heat, finely chop a small chili pepper or add a dash of chili oil to the sauce.
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a sprinkle of finely chopped green onions or fresh cilantro.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
