Hi, can the sauce be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge? If so how for how long?

Can't guarantee how long but you could probably keep it for a week in the fridge. You could probably freeze it to keep it longer. But, I wouldn't add sesame oil if you are not gonna eat it right away. You can probably make it without the sesame oil and add it before you eat. Happy cooking!
