“Delicious!” “Excellent!” “This is really good!” Those were comments from the dinner table the first time we served this sauce drizzled over rice and vegetables. I bet your diners will love this sauce, too. This recipe makes a lot, so store the unused portion in the fridge to drizzle on veggies later in the week.
