Tips

  • You can make quadruple the amount of sauce and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for weeks.
  • Marinating the meat for the topping is recommended to enhance its flavor, but not strictly necessary.
  • Siumiyakai (pickled and fermented mustard) can be substituted with sauerkraut if difficult to find.
