What an excellent sauce, it is so delicious and it went great with our Mochiko chicken and rice that we had for dinner. This sauce has so many potential uses, your imagination is its only limit. Going to pair with our crab Rangoons next, can’t wait to taste the sauce with the crab filling.
Hi Mike, so glad you loved the sauce! It’s awesome that it went so well with your Mochiko chicken and rice — such a tasty dinner. You’re right, this sauce works with so many things, it’s like a secret weapon in the kitchen. Happy cooking! 😀
