Notes
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of chili peppers or chili paste. For those who love extra heat, feel free to add more. You can also use different types of peppers depending on how spicy you want it.
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh garlic, ginger, and chili peppers will enhance the flavor of the sauce. These ingredients provide a burst of freshness that dried versions might not offer.
- Balance the Flavors: If the sauce turns out too salty, you can balance it by adding a touch of honey or sugar. This will give it a slight sweetness to complement the spice.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you want a thicker consistency, you can add a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce while it's cooking. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
