Coach’s Notes
- Use immediately, or keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days.
- For longer storage, briefly heat the sauce by bringing it just to a simmer for 30 to 60 seconds, then cool and refrigerate for 7 to 10 days.
- If adding fresh scallion, remove it before storing and add fresh when serving.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a lighter salt profile.
