For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of orange zest to the sauce. If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of sugar to 2 teaspoons. Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger; use about 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or toasted slivered almonds for added visual appeal.
