Note: For those feeling weird about the added sugar, keep in mind that store-bought sauces and take-out have a higher quantity and lower quality of sugar in them. If you prefer, leave it out or sub it for something you feel more comfortable with. It is the combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy that makes it legit. However, we know watching your sugar is important. So, you do you. It's all good!
