Can I Use White Sugar Instead?
It’s best to use brown sugar for this recipe because it gives a richer flavour. But if you don’t have any, white sugar will work too. Just remember, the sauce might not be as tasty.
What is the Best Alternative to Worcestershire Sauce in This Recipe?
If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can use soy sauce or tamari sauce instead. Both will give a similar savoury flavour to the sauce.
