Before the soy sauce reduces completely, add the heavy cream, stir well and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

💡 Chef's Tip
Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a pinch of nutmeg to the cream for an extra depth of flavor. Serve alongside mashed potatoes or steamed rice to soak up the sauce.
