For a deeper, richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. Freshly grated ginger can be substituted for ground ginger. Use about 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spice. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking.
