After the comment about way too much soy sauce, I made as written — but when I got to adding the soy sauce I started with 1/4 cup. Perfect amount! So glad I didn't add more. No scallions on hand — will add next time, but fine without. Quick meal with TJ's potstickers.

Way way too much soy sauce. Inedible.

More garlic, more ginger, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, rest the same, for me this worked

I would agree with the previous comments about the recipe calling for too much soy sauce. Also you will need to add a teaspoon or so of sugar to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce!

½ tsp Dried Grof Gemalen Chilies, Ducros 1 TBL standard sugar syrup (equal water & sugar boiled for 3 minutes) or 2 tsp sugar I live in Hong Kong. Local Chinese give very favourable feedback.

Made sauce only. Used about 1/3 cup soy sauce. Delish.
