To use, simply open the bottle and pour the desired amount over your food. It works wonderfully as a dipping sauce for appetizers like spring rolls, tempura, or fried wontons. For a quick marinade, coat chicken, shrimp, or tofu in the sauce and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. It can also be drizzled over grilled or baked meats and vegetables for an extra layer of flavor. Stir it into stir-fries or use it as a base for a salad dressing by thinning it with a little lime juice or rice vinegar.
