Advice
Warm the sauce gently to 40–45°C (104–113°F) before serving for a silkier mouthfeel. 🔥
Why it works 💡
Mild heat loosens the ketchup base and helps aromatics bloom without cooking off acidity.
Twist 🌶️
Stir in 5 ml (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz) oyster sauce for deeper umami—or ½ tsp grated fresh ginger for a brighter finish.
