Tips & Variations

• Adjust the spice level in spicy sauces by varying Sriracha or wasabi quantities according to your taste.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce for a less salty and more balanced sweetness in glazes and dipping sauces.
• Add a pinch of toasted sesame seeds to any sauce for extra texture and nuttiness.
• For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo to keep the creamy texture.

Storage

Store the sauces in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving, give each sauce a good stir to recombine any separated ingredients. These sauces are best enjoyed fresh but can be lightly warmed if desired, except for the mayonnaise-based sauces which should be served chilled.
