Food Sensitivities: For those avoiding soy, you can use 1/4 cup coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. If gluten is a concern, ensure your soy sauce is gluten-free.
Taste Preferences: For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon of gochujang or chili flakes to the marinade. If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons or add 1 tablespoon of honey.
