Notes

One batch yields about 3 tablespoons of seasoning, which is perfect for seasoning 500–700 g (1–1½ lb) of beef for stir-fries or skillet-style Mongolian beef.
You can easily adjust the sweetness by reducing the brown sugar, increasing the heat with extra red pepper flakes, or adding a little more ginger for a sharper bite.
Store any leftover seasoning in a well-fitted airtight container, and it will keep fresh for up to 2 months in a cool, dry place.
