Notes
- The sauce can be used up to a week later (but best up to 3 days after making), however you might want to add a tiny bit of vinegar before reusing to boost the flavour.
- Use leftover sauce as a dip for spring rolls and meatballs, or use as a marinade for ribs or chicken kebabs.
- feel free to adapt how sweet it is by adding more or less honey.
- Add a kick of heat to it with some chopped fresh red chilli, a pinch of cayenne or a splash of your favourite chilli sauce.
