Notes

  • The ginger and garlic amounts are just a guide, being precise with either isn't a big deal.
  • Do not scale the powders up linearly, if making more than one serving at the time, just add 0.5 tsp for each serving
  • The curry powder here matters, try to find "chinese curry powder" or "hainanese curry powder". The Indian or others normally have chilli and other spices mixed in
