For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. If you don't have whiskey on hand, you can substitute with apple juice or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version. To enhance the sesame flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds before garnishing.
