How to use this guide

If unavailable, add sugar gradually and control the sauce consistency with water and cooking time. The linked potato braise already uses sugar and does not require added rice syrup.

What changes and what to check

Sugar and honey do not match the syrup's sweetness, moisture and viscosity. Avoid a universal 1:1 swap; this guidance is not a candy-making formula.
