Adjust sweetness and sourness to your liking by adding more sugar or vinegar. For a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. This sauce is fantastic with chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetables.
