How people cook with it
This sauce is excellent for adding a sweet and slightly spicy kick to a variety of meals. It works well as a finishing sauce or a marinade.

To use this sauce as a glaze, warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Once warm, toss cooked chicken wings in the sauce until evenly coated. For marinating, pour the sauce over chicken, pork, or tofu and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. It can also be added directly to cooked dishes like stir-fries or rice bowls to impart its signature flavor. The sauce caramelizes nicely when exposed to heat, creating a delicious sticky coating.
