For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of sesame oil to the sauce. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. Fresh ginger is key for authentic flavor, but in a pinch, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for added texture and visual appeal.

Feb 19, 2025The spice level was perfect for me, but my kids found it a bit too spicy. I'll reduce the red pepper flakes next time.
