Notes

Yves 小貼士 🌿

1. 蒜頭請盡量用新鮮，是靈魂材料。 Fresh garlic is the soul of this sauce.

2. 辣椒可按喜好選擇，紅或綠都可以；想更辣可用小米椒或 Scotch bonnet。 Chili is flexible — use red or green; for more heat, try bird’s eye or Scotch bonnet.

3. 盡量使用庶糖，味道更圓潤，避免白砂糖的尖銳感。 Cane sugar gives a rounder taste; avoid white sugar if possible.

4. 喜歡芫茜可以多加。 Love coriander? Add as much as you like.

5. 這是新鮮醮汁，建議即做即食；冷藏最多3天。 This is a fresh dipping sauce; best eaten the same day, up to 3 days refrigerated.

6. 味道可自由調整，依個醬人人有自己版本。 Taste and adjust — everyone has their own version.
