Tips and Tricks for Making Homemade Dragon Sauce

• As written, this sauce is spicy, but not too spicy. You can adjust the amount of chili flakes in the recipe to suit your preferences.
• Fresh garlic and ginger are key to giving this sauce the best flavor. I'd suggest not trying it with powdered versions.
• Be careful not to burn the garlic! You only need to cook the garlic and ginger for a couple of minutes, just until they are fragrant.
