Made this but it did not compare with my local Chinese restaurant sauce. Too salty even using low sodium soy sauce. Will keep looking for a perfect sauce
This is a good recipe, especially if you add a tablespoon of Chinese rice wine or sherry, before the sauce mixture at the end. Very fast and easy, and delicious.
I agree, too salty, even though I had read the notes and cut back on oyster sauce. Still, it was good and I’ll make it again. Will look for other suggestions on how to control the salt level.
Cut the oyster sauce in half, otherwise it is too salty
This is a good recipe, especially if you add a tablespoon of Chinese rice wine or sherry, before the sauce mixture at the end. Very fast and easy, and delicious.
