Suggestions
Feel adventurous? Swap out rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar for a tangy twist. Add a dash of smoked paprika to crank up the smoky vibes. Garnish with a sprinkle of minced chives or sesame seeds for that gourmet touch. Rule number one: Do not, under any circumstances, eat it all before your meal is ready.
