Cooking Tips

Keep an eye on the sauce to ensure it doesn't burn.
Use a garlic press to mince garlic in seconds.
The amount of time you need to marinate proteins will depend on the kind of protein. For fish and shrimp, we recommend marinating for 30 minutes while meat can marinate overnight. Tofu should marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Storage

Refrigerator leftover sauce in an air-tight container or lidded jar for up to 2 weeks. Before using it again, stir it until it reaches its original consistency. You can also freeze it for a couple months. Just be sure to store it in the correct container. When you are ready to enjoy it again, let it thaw.
