The first time I made this was kind of an accident. I was making a stir-fry but really didn’t have much in the fridge. It’s sorta become one of my all purpose sauces because it’s so simple and versitile. It’s great on wings as an alternative to teriyaki, good on burgers with a grilled pineapple slice, or just as a stir-fry sauce topped with a little peanut.
