Ingredients
- 1 cup Maggi seasoning sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Instructions

Tips
- Quality Matters: Always use fresh, high-quality Maggi seasoning sauce for the most authentic flavor.
- Garlic Precision: Mince the garlic as finely as possible to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Flavor Balancing: Take time to taste and adjust the sauce. The perfect balance of sweet, savory, and umami is key.
