Customization & Variations

Tailor the heat to your preference by adjusting the amount of sriracha sauce, red chilli flakes, or the fresh bird's eye chillies. For a milder flavor, you can reduce the number of chilies or omit them entirely. If you prefer a richer, more umami depth, consider a touch more soy sauce within the specified quantity. You can also play with the balance of honey for a sweeter glaze, if desired.
