For a smoother sauce, consider using a fine-mesh sieve to strain out any lumps after cooking. Adjust the amount of red wine vinegar to tailor the tanginess to your preference. This sauce is excellent served with chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetables. You could make it as a dipping sauce or add it to your main course. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
