How people cook with it
This sauce is excellent for adding a quick burst of flavor to everyday meals. It can be used as a marinade, a glaze, or a dipping sauce.

To use this sauce, you can start by marinating meats for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For grilling or roasting, brush it on during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to create a caramelized glaze.
