Cooking tips 💡

• If the onion has a strong sharp taste, briefly soak it in cold water and squeeze out excess moisture before using.
• Leaving the center of the steamer basket empty ensures steam circulates smoothly, resulting in even cooking throughout.
• If brown sugar is unavailable, you can substitute with regular granulated sugar without affecting the sauce quality.
