How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the remaining sauce within a few days to maintain its optimal flavor and texture. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
