Critical Success Points

  • Ensuring the dark soy sauce is truly dark and thick; using light soy instead will affect color and flavor.
  • Whisking until the sugar fully dissolves to avoid grainy texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Sesame oil is highly aromatic; use the measured amount to avoid overpowering the sauce.
  • Shaoxing wine contains alcohol; keep away from open flames when adding to hot pans.
