Classic spicy
A red pepper sauce establishes the familiar point of departure for the other variations.

Rosé
A creamy red sauce softens the heat and gives the list a rounder texture.

Soy sauce
A darker savory glaze shifts the direction away from chili heat toward sweetness and salt.

Black-bean
Black-bean sauce brings a denser, more earthy profile to the chewy base.

A less saucy preparation makes the surface and individual ingredients feel more distinct.
