Q: What dishes is it best used in? A: It's wonderfully versatile — perfect for stir-fries, marinades, glazes for roasted or grilled meats, and for adding depth to noodles and vegetable dishes.

Q: How should I store it? A: Shake well before use, and refrigerate after opening to maintain its freshness and flavour.
