Adding sugar to the sauce at the beginning

Adding sugar at the end

When adding sugar to the sauce at the beginning, this may lead to excessively increasing the sauce sweetness, affecting flavor balance. Sugar needs time to dissolve and mix well, and when added at the start of cooking, it may cause it to burn or make the sauce look heavy. To avoid this, it is preferred to add sugar in the second half of the cooking process, after the basic flavors of the sauce have formed. In this way, the sweetness level can be controlled, ensuring the sauce retains its balanced flavor.
