Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding minced garlic or chopped onions to the sauce while it simmers. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar slightly. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. If dark rum isn't available, spiced rum can also add a unique twist to the dish.
