# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sauce hits that perfect salty sweet spot that makes you want to lick your plate
- Everything cooks in one basket so cleanup is literally just wiping it down
02 -
- Overcrowding the basket is the number one mistake people make and it turns this into steamed mush instead of crisp deliciousness
- Let the sauce sit for at least five minutes before using so the garlic and ginger can really infuse into the liquid
03 -
- Grate your ginger against a microplane so it practically melts into the sauce instead of leaving stringy bits
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper for cleanup that takes literally ten seconds
